COLUMBUS, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – In less than a one week period ending Sunday, five people were killed in motorcycle accidents in Stark County.
The sheriff’s office’s Safe Communities Coalition says there’s no rhyme or reason for it.
18 people have been killed on county roadways this year.
Last year at this time it was 14.
Those fatal accidents on dirt and mini bikes from Sunday go into the motorcycle count.
Nine of the 18 killed this year were motorcycle-related.
