WAKEMAN TOWNSHIP — An Ashland man was seriously injured Friday night after a motorcycle he was driving crashed in Huron County, according to the Norwalk Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Dylan Steen, 26, sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to Cleveland Metro Hospital by Life Flight, the Patrol stated. No report of his condition was immediately available early Saturday morning at the time of publication.
According to authorities, Steen was driving a 2024 Indian Challenger Dark Horse southbound on State Route 60 south of Auster Road in Wakeman Township at approximately 9:05 p.m.
Steen failed to negotiate the curve, causing the motorcycle to leave the roadway on the left side. The vehicle then struck a ditch and overturned.
At the time of the crash, Steen was not wearing a helmet and was ejected from the motorcycle.
Preliminary investigations suggest that speed and alcohol use may have contributed to the crash, the Patrol reported.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted on scene by Wakeman Police Department, Wakeman Township Fire Department, Citizen’s Ambulance, Metro Lifeflight, and Interstate Towing.
