STEUBEN COUNTY, Ind. (WOWO): A Fremont man died in a motorcycle crash Tuesday night near Crooked Lake in Steuben County.

Police say Szapkiw was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and was suffering from a serious head injury. Szapkiw was airlifted from the scene to a Fort Wayne hospital, where he later died.
