An Ohio couple was involved in a fatal motorcycle accident over the weekend. The husband died in the accident, while the wife was life-flighted to a hospital in Toledo. She remains in serious condition.
The motorcycle accident occurred at approximately 11 pm. The man lost control of the bike, and both riders were ejected in the process. While the man was lying on the road, he was hit by a pickup truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The motorcycle accident is still under investigation. Neither rider was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, and alcohol is suspected to have played a role in the incident.
Due to the lack of protection afforded by motorcycles, injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents are often very severe, resulting in broken bones, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, and even death. It is important to always wear a helmet and operate your motorcycle with extreme caution to reduce your risk of an accident.
