MARION, Ohio — A man was seriously injured in a motorcycle-involved crash Thursday in Marion County.
The crash happened just before 5:40 p.m. on State Route 4 in Grand Prairie Township.
According to the Marion Post with the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the crash involved a Honda Civic and a Suzuki VL800 motorcycle.
OSHP said both were heading north on SR-4 when the motorcyclist began to slow down and the car hit the motorcycle from behind.
The motorcyclist was taken to the Marion General Hospital and later flown to Grant Medical Center in Columbus with severe injuries. He was not wearing a helmet, according to the OSHP.
The driver of the Honda was not injured in the crash. This crash remains under investigation.
Editor's note: A previous version of the story incorrectly stated the motorcycle hit the car. The copy now correctly states that OSHP said the motorcyclist was hit by the car from behind.
