Motorcycle Accidents in Ohio
Every year, the Ohio State Highway Patrol records about 175 fatal motorcycle accidents in the state, accounting for approximately 16 percent of all fatal crashes on Ohio’s roads.

In 2022 alone, 176 individuals tragically lost their lives in motorcycle collisions, underscoring the urgent need for heightened safety measures and awareness among both riders and drivers.
