PORT CLINTON — A northeast Ohio motorcyclist was flown from Ottawa County to Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center on Saturday night after a crash on State Rt. 2 just west of Camp Perry.

A condition was not immediately available from St. Vincent for Dean Herrick, 52, of Massillon.

He was eastbound on Route 2, approaching the Tettau Road intersection in Erie Township about 7:20 p.m. when he struck a pickup that failed to yield from a private drive, according to the Ohio Highway Patrol's Sandusky post.

The pickup was southbound from the Erie Industrial Park across Route 2 toward Tettau driven by Cody Conaway, 16, who lives east of Port Clinton, the patrol said.

He was cited for failure to yield from a private drive.
