ALEXANDRIA, Ind. (WISH) — A 65-year-old motorcyclist died Sunday night in a crash in Madison County, the sheriff said. 

The man was identified Monday as Gary Durham of Alexandria.

The sheriff said Monday afternoon that Durham was westbound on 900 North and left the road for unknown reasons. He traveled about 100 feet off the road before returning onto it with the motorcycle on its side in the road.

The motorcycle was the only vehicle in the crash. No one else was on the motorcycle.
