Katherine was driving down Eaton Gettysburg Road Tuesday afternoon when, according to troopers, she hit the back of a truck. She passed before she made it to the hospital. Brian says it's hard to wrap his mind around it all. 'She tragically lost her life that day because somebody wasn't paying attention,' Brian said. In the past year, there have been over 820 motorcycle crashes across Ohio. Katherine's makes the fifth motorcycle crash in Preble County. 'There's 820 families just like my family right now, and I don't want anyone to have to go through, one more is too many,' Brian said. The family set up a tribute for Katherine at their home. They say she had a heart of gold. 'You never left our house hungry. If you did, it was your own fault,' Brian said. 'She didn't have any room in her heart for hate, it was love.' Brian had a message for all drivers. 'Stop driving distracted, get off your cell phones, turn off the radio,' Brian said. 'It's not that important. It'll be there when you get home.' The Dailey family is in contact with the Ohio State Highway Patrol about the investigation. Both the family and OSHP are urging drivers to look out for motorcyclists on the road.
