Motorcyclist killed in wrong-way crash had nearly triple legal blood alcohol: autopsy
A motorcyclist who was killed in a wrong-way crash earlier this month had nearly triple the legal amount of alcohol permitted by Ohio law in his system, according to a report from the Franklin County Coroner's Office. Isaiah Allen, 34, died in a July 7 crash at 12:07 a.m. along State Route 161 near Little Turtle Road on Columbus' Northeast Side, The Dispatch previously reported. Allen, who was driving a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R600, drove westbound in the eastbound lanes of State Route 161 and into the front passenger side of a 2022 Honda Accord traveling eastbound, police said. The Honda was driving the posted speed limit of 65 mph, according to a Columbus police crash report. A laboratory report accompanying the coroner's autopsy report said that at the time of his death, Allen had an ethanol or blood alcohol content of .229% — nearly triple the legal limit of 0.08% under the Ohio Revised Code. A person with a BAC of .20 more than this amount means they are too intoxicated to drive. After colliding with the Honda, Allen was immediately ejected from the motorcycle and pronounced dead at the scene. The coroner's report noted that his right leg and right arm were amputated in the crash. Reporter Shahid Meighan can be reached at smeighan@ at ShahidMeighan on X, and at on Bluesky.
