Columbus, Ohio - The recent spate of fatal motorcycle crashes in Columbus has raised concerns about the safety of motorcyclists in the city. In the past few months, several people have been killed in motorcycle crashes, including a 32-year-old man who was killed in a crash on Marci Way in June.

The Columbus Police Department is investigating the recent crashes and urging motorcyclists to take precautions to stay safe. These precautions include wearing a helmet, obeying the speed limit, and being aware of other vehicles on the road.

Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to injury in crashes because they are not protected by a metal frame like cars and trucks. Even a minor crash can cause serious injuries to a motorcyclist.

The Columbus Motorcycle Safety Coalition is a group that advocates for the safety of motorcyclists in the city. The coalition offers a variety of safety programs and resources for motorcyclists, including a free motorcycle safety course.

The coalition urges all motorcyclists to take advantage of these resources and to always ride safely. By following these tips, motorcyclists can help to reduce the risk of being involved in a crash.
