NORTH RIDGEVILLE — An Avon woman was LifeFlighted from the scene after she crashed a motorcycle she was riding into a brick wall.

The accident was reported a little before 12:30 p.m. today. According to police, the woman is 55 years old and has a learner’s permit for the motorcycle. North Ridgeville officers had not completed their report, so the woman’s identity is not yet available.

She crashed the motorcycle into a brick wall bordering the North Ridgeville Education Center on Center Ridge Road.

According to North Ridgeville fire Lt. Jon Graf, the woman was practicing on the motorcycle in a parking lot when she lost control. He estimated her speed when she hit the wall was about 40 mph.

Graf couldn’t say what her injuries were or how badly hurt she was, adding just that she was LifeFlighted “out of concern over the mechanism of injury,” basically because motorcycle accidents are notorious for being life threatening.

Graf said he didn’t know what type of motorcycle she was riding but said that it “looked like a Harley.”
