HARRISON COUNTY, OH--

A man and woman were both injured in a head-on collision that happened Saturday at around 6 p.m.

According to officials, a pickup truck was turning into the Tappan Lake launching ramp when a motorcycle was turning out. They collided, and both the driver and passenger of the bike were ejected.

Sergeant Jeff Bernard of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said drivers need to look closely for motorcycles and be extra cautious, because they don’t have the protection that most vehicles have.

“This time of year now, we have a lot of motorcycles on the road,” Bernard said. “You just have to pay a little bit extra attention to the roadway when you're turning to make sure there's nothing coming."

The motorcyclists -- a man and woman -- were both injured and taken to the hospital. The driver's injuries are unknown, but he was alert and talking. The female was not, and officials told NEWS9 she's in serious condition. Both were wearing helmets.

Other motorcyclists said drivers need to pay extra attention to motorcycles on the road.

“Motorcycles have the same rights on the road as cars,” said Jim Kayser of Cadiz, Ohio. “Let us have our space; watch us as we watch you. Be safe.”

Officials have not released the name of the two motorcyclists. No one in the pickup truck was injured, but the driver faces pending charges for failure to yield. Stick with NEWS9 for continuing coverage.
