The Dearborn County Sheriff's Office is investigating a Tuesday-night motorcycle crash in Aurora that seriously injured the rider and led to an airlift to a Cincinnati hospital.
The crash was reported around 8:30 p.m. in the 6400 block of Lower Dillsboro Road, according to FOX19. Air Care landed near the scene and flew the motorcyclist to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center for treatment.
Condition Remains Unclear
The station's report notes that the motorcyclist's condition had not been released as of overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, leaving neighbors and passersby on the rural Dearborn County road without word on how the rider is doing. No further details on injuries have surfaced since the crash was first reported.
FOX19 reported that the Dearborn County Sheriff's Office was investigating. The circumstances of the crash had not been confirmed in the report.
Statewide Motorcycle Fatalities
Indiana recorded 98 motorcycle fatalities in 2016, according to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute. That statewide fatality figure alone does not show how common motorcycle-involved crashes are in Dearborn County or allow a direct county-to-state comparison.
Next Update
The sheriff's office was expected to release more details later Wednesday, according to FOX19.
