SIDNEY —Three motorcyclists were injured — one seriously — in a motorcycle crash Friday night.
Robert E. Branam, 44, of Sidney, was taken by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton after the 7:52 p.m. crash.
According to a news release from Shelby County Sheriff John Lenhart, Branam, operating a 2005 Harley Davidson, was eastbound on Millcreek Road, near the Stephens Road intersection, when he hit the rear of a Harley Davidson operated by William Copeland, 39, of Sidney. Lesley J. Copeland, 39, of Sidney, also was eastbound on Millcreek Road, operating a 2001 Harley Davidson. She applied her brakes to avoid the crash. She lost control of her motorcycle and it slid off the left side of the road.
