Teen Bicyclist Killed On US 50

(Cleves, Oh.) - A Cleves teen was killed while riding his bike across U.S. 50 late Friday.

 

Dakota Reamer, 18, was crossing the busy highway at Mount Nebo Road when he was struck by a car at about 10:00 p.m.

 

Reamer was taken by aircare to University Hospital in Cincinnati, where he died the following Saturday morning.
