Ohio Teen Motorcyclist Dies After Rear-Ending Pickup on I-74 in Indiana

Overview

• Indiana State Police say a 2004 Honda motorcycle hit the rear of a 2023 Ford pickup on I-74 in Dearborn County near the 170-mile marker.
• The rider, 18-year-old Christopher Davis of Hooven, Ohio, was ejected and later died at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
• Troopers report Davis was traveling well in excess of the posted speed limit before the impact.
• The pickup’s driver, a 30-year-old man from Arizona, was not injured and is cooperating with investigators.
• The crash site sits close to the Ohio line, which helps explain the transfer to a Cincinnati hospital, and state police say the case remains open.
