Evendale, OH (August 5, 2024) – A serious motorcycle collision on Monday, August 5, left two motorcyclists injured in Evendale. The incident occurred just before 5:00 p.m. at the intersection of Glendale Milford Road and Cunningham Drive.
According to police reports, a car traveling eastbound on Glendale Milford Road approached the intersection with Cunningham Drive. At the same time, a truck heading eastbound changed lanes and struck the car. This impact caused the car to spin into the opposing lane of traffic.
In that lane, a motorcycle was stopped at a red light, preparing to turn left. The car then collided head-on with the stationary motorcycle. The impact resulted in both the motorcycle driver and passenger being ejected from the bike. Neither of them was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
The motorcycle driver is in critical condition and has been transported to UC Medical Center. The passenger is reportedly in stable condition and was also taken to the medical center for treatment. The drivers of the car and the truck were not injured in the crash. Local law enforcement officials are currently investigating the accident.
We send our best wishes to all those harmed by this motorcycle crash. We hope they make a rapid recovery.
