Troopers believe alcohol to be a contributing factor to a deadly motorcycle crash in Mercer County Tuesday night.

According to Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), the crash happened around 8 p.m. in the 900 block of Springfield Church Road in Grove City.

When troopers got to the scene, they found 39-year-old Jeremy Gildersleeve dead at the scene, as well as Gilderson's motorcycle lying in the roadway heavily damaged.

Troopers say Gildersleeve was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and alcohol consumption is believed to be a contributing factor.

Troopers do not believe any charges will be filed in connection with the crash.
