Ohio State Highway Patrol officers take notes at the scene of a motorcycle-deer accident on state Route 703 near Grand Lake St. Marys State Park Thursday night. Kirk Shaffer, 46, Celina, was riding a 2013 Harley-Davidson motorcycle westbound at 8:15 p.m. when he struck a deer trying to cross the roadway, a patrol news release says. Shaffer was reportedly not wearing a helmet and was ejected. He was taken by emergency medical squad to Joint Township District Memorial Hospital, St. Marys, and later taken by LifeFlight to St. Rita's Medical Center in Lima. Shaffer was listed in critical condition this morning, a hospital spokesperson said.
