As News Center 7 previously reported, an investigation revealed that a Toyota RAV4 was going south on S. Greenlee Road when the driver, Black, stopped at the intersection.
Black entered the intersection and got into the path of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle that was going east on Fenner Road. The motorcyclist was unable to avoid the SUV and collided with it, according to a Miami County Sheriff’s Office crash report.
The motorcyclist, identified as 21-year-old Garrett Boatright of Laura, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Black suffered minor injuries in the crash.
An attorney for Black entered a not guilty plea on Friday. She’s currently set to appear in court next month.
