A motorcyclist died Sunday in a crash that involved two other vehicles on Ohio 637, Ohio State Highway Patrol said.

Troopers were called about 11:40 a.m. to the crash near the intersection of Ohio 637 and Paulding County Road 138, a news release said. Lance M. Bolenbaugh, 48, of Bryan was later pronounced dead.

The investigation shows 17-year-old Grady K Barton of Oakwood was driving a 2003 Chevrolet Silvervado north on Ohio 637 behind a 2016 Toyota RAV4 driven by Marisela Soto Vazquez, 31, of Paulding.

Vazquez was slowing as she prepared to turn left onto CR 138, and Barton did not "maintain an assured clear distance ahead," the news release said. Barton reportedly swerved to the left to avoid striking the RAV4, and he then sideswiped the vehicle and drove into the southbound lane.
