Motorcycle Accident On Ohio Turnpike

With its winding curves, the Ohio Turnpike can be a treacherous roadway for anyone driving a motorcycle. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, there were 355 motorcycle accidents on the Turnpike in 2020, resulting in 44 fatalities.

One such tragedy occurred late last month when a motorcyclist was killed in an accident while traveling southbound on the Turnpike near the city of Cleveland. Witnesses reported that the rider was unable to negotiate a sharp curve and slammed into a guardrail. The driver, who was not wearing a helmet, was thrown from the bike and pronounced dead at the scene.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol is urging riders to be extra vigilant when driving on the Turnpike and to take necessary safety precautions. In addition to wearing a helmet, riders are also encouraged to check their speed and pay close attention to road conditions. Motorists should also be aware of other drivers and potential hazards on the road. The Ohio Department of Transportation has a number of resources available to help riders stay safe while traveling on the Turnpike.

By utilizing these resources and taking extra precautions, riders can help ensure that their time on the Turnpike is a safe one. Motorcycle accidents have devastated many families in Ohio and beyond, and we all must work together to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
