Clarksfield Township - The Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Norwalk Post is currently investigating a serious single-vehicle crash that occurred on August 30, 2024, at approximately 9:05 P.M. The crash occurred on State Route 60 south of Auster Road in Wakeman Township, Huron County.
Dylan Steen, a 26-year-old from Ashland, Ohio, was driving a 2024 Indian Challenger Dark Horse southbound on State Route 60. Mr. Steen failed to negotiate the curve, causing the motorcycle to leave the roadway on the left side. The vehicle then struck a ditch and overturned.
At the time of the crash, Mr. Steen was not wearing a helmet and was ejected from the motorcycle. He sustained serious injuries and was airlifted to Cleveland Metro Hospital by Life Flight.
Preliminary investigations suggest that speed and alcohol use may have contributed to the crash, though the incident remains under investigation.
