Ohio Motorcycle Fatalities Decline This Year

Ohio is seeing fewer deaths from motorcycle crashes, even as more Ohioans are becoming eligible to drive choppers.

State Department of Public Safety numbers show 120 people have died in motorcycle accidents since the beginning of 2011, down from 158 during the same period in 2010.

Meanwhile, more than 711,000 Ohio driver licenses now show a motorcycle endorsement, or permit stamp. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles said those endorsements are up by about 11,000 since two years ago.
