At 3:39 p.m. Wednesday, Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the area of 234th Street and Cumberland Road regarding a serious accident.
Upon arrival, deputies determined two vehicles were involved: a black Dodge Journey and a black Harley Davidson motorcycle.
The Dodge was northbound on Cumberland Road and stopped at the sign at 234th Street. The Harley Davidson was traveling east on 234th Street heading towards Cumberland Road. Eastbound and westbound traffic have the right-of-way at that intersection.
As the motorcycle was approaching the intersection, the Dodge proceeded to turn left with the intent to travel west on 234th Street. The Dodge entered the path of the eastbound motorcycle, resulting in the motorcycle beginning to brake; however, it was unable to avoid the collision. The motorcycle began to slide on its side and struck the Dodge as it turned left. At some point, both the driver and passenger on the motorcycle separated from the motorcycle. The Dodge then rolled over until coming to rest on its driver side in the embankment on the north side of 234th Street.
The motorcycle passenger was declared deceased at the scene, and the motorcycle driver sustained multiple serious injuries from the crash and was transported by Air Ambulance to Methodist Hospital. The driver of the Dodge was transported by ground ambulance to Methodist Hospital with pain and internal injuries.
The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office was dispatched to assist Sheriff’s deputies. Coroner Jeff Jellison identified the deceased as Steffanie Pickett, 31, Cicero. The cause of the accident is under investigation and the official cause and manner of death is pending autopsy and toxicology results.
