Benjamin Curtis Conley- Motorbike Accident- Huron County- The suspect detained in a tragic hit-and-run collision involving a motorbike on Wednesday night in Huron County has been identified as Chad Holbrook of Norwalk, Ohio.

The 46-year-old Norwalk resident Benjamin Curtis Conley was murdered in a hit-and-run accident on Wednesday night.

Around 8:40 p.m. on Wednesday, Conley was riding a Harley Davidson motorbike when Holbrook, driving a Chevy pickup truck, rear-ended it on SR-61 near Seminary Road.

Then, dragging the bike behind him, Holbrook drove off from the scene. Once the bike was freed, Holbrook kept driving for another two kilometers.

After seeing the collision, an off-duty deputy from the Erie County Sheriff’s Office pursued Holbrook and made an effort to pull him over. After that, Holbrook got out of his car and started running from the area.

After a protracted manhunt, Holbrook—who was unharmed in the collision—was hauled into jail about two hours later.

He was taken to the Huron County Jail and booked on charges of aggravated vehicular murder, fleeing the scene of a deadly accident, driving while intoxicated, and failing to wear a seatbelt.

Conley was identified as having died from blunt impact injuries.

The accident’s cause is still being looked into.
