CINCINNATI — A 47-year-old man has died after a two-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle Saturday, the Hamilton County Coroner's Office said.

The coroner has identified the man as Michael Morrison.

CPD said a 45-year-old man driving a Ford Taurus eastbound on Columbia Parkway just after 4:45 p.m. made an "improper turn," striking a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

The motorcycle, also traveling eastbound, was being driven by Morrison with a 45-year-old woman as a passenger.

Police said Morrison was seriously injured in the crash and transported to UC Medical Center with "life-threatening injuries." The woman on the motorcycle was also transported to UC Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Neither of them were wearing helmets during the crash, CPD said.

The driver of the Ford Taurus, and his two passengers, were not injured in the crash.

Police said they are investigating impairment as a factor in the crash, which shut down all lanes of Columbia Parkway during a busy night in Cincinnati with a Reds game, sold-out Luke Combs concert at Paycor Stadium and Goettafest in Northern Kentucky.
