The man who died after being hit by a school bus in Jefferson Township earlier this week has been identified.
The Butler County Coroner confirmed that 79-year-old Gary Welsh of Saxonburg died in the crash Wednesday afternoon on Dinnerbell Road.
He was trying to make a turn onto Victory Road when he crossed the center line into oncoming traffic and hit a school bus that was heading westbound.
After hitting the bus, the motorcycle was dragged for about 30 feet and Welsh went under the bus.
The students and bus driver did not suffer any injuries.
