 In Auglaize County, Ohio, a tragic motorcycle crash has left a community mourning after 26-year-old Alexandra N. Hover of Lima lost her life in a collision at the intersection of U.S. Route 33 and State Route 65 on Friday evening. The devastating incident also left motorcycle operator Khaled A. Haque seriously injured, turning an ordinary summer evening into a heartbreaking event that has deeply affected family members, friends, and residents throughout the region.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Wapakoneta Post, the crash occurred at approximately 7:37 p.m. in Clay Township. Investigators reported that Alexandra Hover was riding as a passenger on a 2008 Kawasaki Vulcan motorcycle operated by 22-year-old Khaled Haque when the collision took place. Emergency personnel responded quickly to the scene, where first responders worked to provide aid amid the severity of the crash.

Preliminary findings indicate that a 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan traveling northbound on State Route 65 entered the intersection and reportedly failed to yield the right-of-way to the eastbound motorcycle traveling on U.S. Route 33. Authorities say the resulting impact was severe, causing significant damage and leading to life-threatening injuries for those involved.

Khaled Haque, who was wearing a motorcycle helmet at the time of the crash, sustained serious injuries and was transported to Lima Memorial Hospital for treatment.

Authorities reported that the driver of the Volkswagen sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was also transported to Lima Memorial Hospital. A passenger riding in the SUV was not injured. Investigators stated that alcohol and drugs are not believed to have contributed to the collision, though a full review of the circumstances remains ongoing.

The response involved numerous agencies, including the Ohio State Highway Patrol Crash Reconstruction Unit, local fire departments, the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office, the county coroner's office, emergency response teams, and towing personnel. The intersection remained active for several hours as investigators documented evidence and carefully reconstructed the events leading up to the crash.
