Cincinnati, OH – Lloyd Baynes Injured in Motorcycle Crash on Kellogg Ave
Cincinnati, OH (August 13, 2020) – A 30-year-old motorcyclist was injured following a collision in the Cincinnati area early on Wednesday morning, August 12. Local law enforcement officials and emergency responders were dispatched to the site of the crash at the 5100 block of Kellogg Avenue at around 7:30 a.m.
Initial reports revealed that Lloyd Baynes was traveling by a 2003 Kawasaki Z1000 motorcycle westbound on Kellogg Avenue at the time of the collision. Baynes was struck head-on by a 2002 Ford F-250 pickup truck. Authorities identified the driver of the pickup as 41-year-old Christopher Corcoran.
Baynes sustained critical injuries in the crash and was transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Recent reports reveal that he is still in critical condition. No other injuries were reported at the scene, and Baynes was reportedly wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
Intoxication is not believed to have played a role in the collision. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is being managed by local law enforcement officials.
Our thoughts are with Lloyd Baynes and his family at this time. We hope for a full recovery.
Motorcycle Crashes in Hamilton County
Motorcycle collisions can happen in an instant and leave riders suffering from severe injuries. Motorcycle accidents often leave victims with expensive medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. The Ohio State Highway Patrol reports statistics related to many types of collisions across the state each year, including motorcycle collisions. In 2017, the OHSP found that there were 3,826 motorcycle crashes reported across Ohio. These collisions contributed to 157 deaths. OHSP data revealed that motorcycle injuries were more likely to involve those from the ages of 51 to 55, while motorcycle fatalities primarily involved those from the ages of 21 to 25.
Motorcyclists, even when they follow the necessary safety protocol, have little protection when colliding with a motor vehicle, and this places them at greater risk of suffering serious to life-threatening injuries in the event of a collision. Common road hazards that are just slight inconveniences for passengers of larger motor vehicles, such as potholes, ice, cracks, or slick roads are a much greater risk for riders than drivers. Ohio motorcycle crashes can leave riders paralyzed, as amputees, or with other types of permanent disability that can greatly impact their ability to live their lives as they once could.
