Butler Mayor Floyd C. Coburn, 65, died Sunday in a dual motorcycle crash Sunday in Williams County, according to Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers.
The crash happened just after 3 p.m. Sunday on U.S. 20 just west of Ohio 15, near Pioneer, as a group of motorcyclists were riding on U.S. 20.
One of the bikers, Michael D. Wasson, 58, of Butler, slowed down on U.S. 20. When he reduced his speed, he was struck from behind by Coburn, troopers said.
Coburn then drove off the left side of the road, rolling his Honda motorcycle. Coburn, who troopers said was wearing a helmet, was ejected from the bike and pronounced dead at the scene.
Wasson was not injured, troopers said.
