UPDATE: Ohio man dies after motorcycle crash
A 72-year-old Ohio man whose motorcycle was struck by a car from behind as the two vehicles were traveling down Cape San Blas Road has died from injuries in the Sunday morning collision.
According to a news release from the Florida Highway Patrol, the Orwell, Ohio man was traveling at about 11:07 a.m. west down Cape San Blas Road, when he slowed down just east of Barnacle Drive.
The sedan behind him, driven by a 33-year-old Saint Cloud man, was unable to slow in time, and struck the rear of the motorcycle, ejecting the man, who was not wearing a helmet, according to the release.
Both the car’s driver, and his 12-year-old and 40-year-old female passengers, were wearing seatbelts and were not injured.
Tim Easton was a great man and this is a terrible accident. He was loved by family and friends and he will be dearly missed by us all. My thoughts and prayers go out to Linda Easton, Tonia Easton, Jeremy Easton, Pete Easton and the rest of the Easton family. I have nothing but good memories of Tim and he will be missed.
So very true. We will never be the same. So sorry
This is a terrible loss to the family, the town of Orwell, and all of the people he did business with. When a lot of young kids were riding their skateboards and bicycles his kids were running heavy equipment and I mean his daughter too! He loved his family and taught his kids had to do everything that any heavy operator did at a very young age. The whole family are extremely hard workers. He will be very missed by many.
