Troopers and medics were dispatched around 11:15 a.m. to the 11000 block of Reading Road on initial reports of a motorcycle crash, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

A 1983 Harley Davidson was traveling southbound on U.S. 42 approaching Reading Road when it traveled off the right side of the roadway and hit a building, a preliminary investigation revealed.

The momentum of the motorcycle was enough to penetrate the wall and come to a final rest inside the vacant business.

No one was in the business at the time of the crash.

The driver of the motorcycle was not wearing a helmet, OSHP said.

The crash remains under investigation.
