HENRIETTA TWP. — An Amherst woman died Tuesday following a motorcycle crash. The Ohio State Highway Patrol received a request Monday afternoon for assistance from the Lorain County Sheriff's Office for a one-vehicle crash on Ohio 113 near Gore Orphanage Road in Henrietta Township. The crash involved a single motorcycle with two occupants. A 2012 Harley Davidson FLHX motorcycle was traveling westbound on Ohio 113. The motorcycle failed to negotiate a curve and overturned in the roadway. The motorcycle was operated by Charles J. Martin, 32, of Wakeman. Martin was transported from the scene by Life Care EMS to Lorain Mercy Hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. The motorcycle was also occupied by a female passenger, Satira A. King, 26, of Amherst. King was transported from the scene by Metro Life Flight to Cleveland Metro Hospital with life-threatening injuries. King died from her injuries on Tuesday. Neither occupant was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. Impairment is suspected to be a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation. The Patrol was assisted on scene by Lorain County Sheriff's Department, Florence Township Fire Department, Central Lorain County Ambulance, Life Care EMS, Metro Life Flight, and Limitless Towing.
