EATON TOWNSHIP, Ohio - An Olmsted Falls man is dead and another injured after a motorcycle collision with a deer in Lorain County Wednesday night.
The Elyria Highway Patrol Post said Bruce D. Oberacker, 51, was killed after hitting a deer with his motorcycle at about 9 p.m. on Island Road just south of Capel Road in Eaton Township. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
