Jonathan Little tragically killed in Haskins motorcycle accident

HASKINS, Ohio — A motorcyclist died Wednesday morning after striking a deer and then being hit by an SUV in Wood County.

Jonathan Little, 53, of Bowling Green, was riding eastbound on Ohio 582 near Tontogany Road in Washington Township at around 5:30 a.m. Little hit a deer that was standing in the middle of the roadway.

After the initial collision, a 36-year-old Bowling Green man driving Hyundai Sante Fe SUV struck both the motorcycle and Little. The SUV driver was not hurt in the crash.

Emergency responders pronounced Little dead at the scene. The Wood County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the fatality.

The accident happened in the early morning hours when visibility may have been limited.

The SUV driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. No charges have been announced in connection with the crash.


MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

“Motorcyclists are arguably the most vulnerable motorists on the road,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

Motorcycle deaths in Ohio have hit concerning numbers, with 230 riders losing their lives in crashes last year—that’s a massive 47% jump from what we saw five years back. Even though motorcycles make up just a tiny portion of all the vehicles you see on Ohio roads, they were involved in nearly one out of every five traffic deaths in 2022.

Bond, a seasoned motorcycle accident attorney, emphasized the need for an independent investigation in cases like this to ensure the victim’s family receives proper legal protection.

“Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be thoroughly examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice that they deserve.”


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Jonathan Little may pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Bond.

“We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
