RICHMOND, Ind. (WISH) — A 78-year-old man died Monday after a minivan struck him while riding his motorcycle in Richmond, police say.
Just after 11:50 a.m., Wayne County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to State Road 121 and Porterfield Road in Richmond to investigate a report of a motor vehicle crash with injuries, a news release said Tuesday.

Cox died a few hours after his arrival.
Boring and his passengers inside the minivan were not injured during the crash, according to police.
