An 18-year-old firefighter was killed<\/a> in a Miami Township<\/a> motorcycle crash, according to Ohio State Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred at approximately 12:20 p.m. July 6 on state Route 131 near Dry Run Road. Preliminary investigation revealed that a Honda motorcycle, operated by Wyatt Fisher, was traveling east on the highway when it struck a Ford Escape from behind after it had slowed in traffic, high patrol said in a news release.<\/p>\n

The motorcycle then traveled left of center and struck a Volkswagen Routan that was stopped in traffic on the westbound side of the highway.<\/p>\n

Fisher sustained serious injuries and was flown to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead, the release said.<\/p>\n

Fisher served in the Stonelick Township Fire Department in Batavia, according to a post from the agency. He was set to begin as an assistant coach soccer at Clermont Northeastern High School, where he graduated from in May<\/a>. Before that, he was a cadet with Wayne Township Fire & Emergency Management Services.<\/p>\n

“His commitment to protecting our community reflected the very best of the fire service,” the post stated. “Rest easy, Brother. He have the watch from here.”<\/p>\n

Fisher was off-duty at the time of the crash. The township said it would share funeral arraignments as they are made available.<\/p>\n

Highway patrol is continuing to investigate the crash, the release stated.<\/p>\n
