One person was flown to the hospital after a serious crash involving two motorcycles in Greene County at 8:03 p.m. Monday evening, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

According to OSHP, two people riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles were traveling northeast on Wilmington-Dayton Road when they came up to the intersection with Ferry Road in Sugarcreek Township. The front motorcycle slowed down to turn onto Ferry Road.

The second motorcycle did not notice the front motorcycle slowing down at first and attempted to stop and swerve away. Instead, the second motorcycle locked up its brakes and clipped the front motorcycle, overturning the second vehicle.

The second rider landed in the roadway, and suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries.

CareFlight was called to the scene and carried the injured motorcyclist to the hospital.

OSHP said they did not believe alcohol or speed were factors in the crash, but added that the second motorcyclist was issued a citation for not maintaining assured clear distance to the vehicle in front of it.
