A tragic motorcycle accident in Lake County resulted in the death of a Painesville man on Saturday night. The incident occurred around 10:42 p.m. on Narrows Road, near the intersection with State Route 84 in the village of Perry.
The 45-year-old victim was riding a 1984 Honda Goldwing motorcycle southbound on Narrows Road when the vehicle suddenly veered off the side and overturned. He was ejected from the motorcycle and succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
Authorities confirmed that the man was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. Preliminary investigations suggest that alcohol may have played a role in the crash. The Ohio State Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate the incident.

The Padres scored both runs in the second inning, with Jackson Merrill and Ha-Seong Kim crossing the plate. King, who joined the Padres this season, showcased his skill by inducing weak contact and striking out six batters, earning his eighth win of the season.
Cleveland ultimately ended up with 1 run on 2 hits for the day. Ben Lively also pitched well enough to win, pitching into the 6th inning and giving up 6 hits, 2 earned runs.
