The car crossed the intersection and failed to stop at a stop sign, causing the motorcycle to crash into the car, according to the Wood County Sheriff's Office.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Wood County sheriff’s deputies and the Ohio State Highway Patrol responded to a motorcycle crash in rural Wood County on Sunday evening.

The crash happened around 5:30 p.m. on Haskins Road and Bishop Road in Plain Township.

The Wood County Sheriff's Office says the two-vehicle crash happened between a Mitsubishi Outlander, driven by 42-year-old Tiffany Crain, of Bowling Green, and a Triumph motorcycle, operated by 70-year-old Craig Kleine, of Bowling Green.

The Outlander crossed the intersection and "failed to yield from a stop sign", causing the motorcycle to crash into the car, according to the Wood County Sheriff's office.

Around 6:20 p.m., an air ambulance was called to assist after the collision and was seen taking Kleine from the scene to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The sheriff's office confirmed Kleine was wearing safety gear.
