It was an older dude, with a 16 year old girl, and he was drunk when he did it. thats why he's being charged with Homicide. And I'm pretty sure there is a required helmet law if your under 18 too that was breached.

Lauren Decker, 22, was charged with aggravated vehicular homicide stemming from the death of Shadyside teen Devron Lunsford.

Lunsford, 16, died in August from injuries suffered in a motorcycle crash in downtown Shadyside.

Police said Decker was driving the motorcycle and Lunsford was on the back when they crashed into a car at 48th Street and Central Avenue.

Decker remains in the Belmont County Jail on $8,000 bond. Her trial is set for January.

I'm pretty sure the driver was a chick.

Here is what I found in the Ohio Revised code. Evidently was doing something she shouldn't have been.
