BUCYRUS — A Bucyrus man was killed in a car-motorcycle crash in Bucyrus at 7:37 p.m. Sunday evening.
The driver of the motorcycle, Shannon R. Byrum, 45, was pronounced dead at the scene. According to Bucyrus Police, Byrum was traveling westbound on East Irving Street on his 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle when a 2013 Chrysler 200, driven by Judith M.
