Motorcycle crashes in several states killed three people and injured multiple riders. In Frankfort, Kentucky, two adults died when their motorcycle collided with a vehicle; in Sandusky County, Ohio, 18-year-old Gavin B. McGlaughlin died after losing control on a curve, leaving the road and overturning, and authorities said he was not wearing a helmet. A 41-year-old motorcyclist from Perham, Minnesota, was critically injured Sunday evening after striking a deer on County Highway 51 in Otter Tail County; he was taken to a hospital and then airlifted to another facility. Other reports described critically injured riders in Pittsburgh and Fox Lake, Illinois, a seriously injured Missouri motorcyclist in a deer-related crash, and two riders with non-life-threatening injuries in southeastern Minnesota. In Bridgeport, Connecticut, a four-vehicle crash injured two motorcyclists, one seriously; authorities were investigating the crashes, and several reports provided few details about their causes.
