The accident occurred just after 6:00 p.m. at the corner of State Route 113 and Baumhart Road in Henrietta Township. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, a car carrying four passengers was going eastbound on 113 and was set to go north on Baumhart Road, but didn't yield the right of way to a motorcycle going westbound on 113.
