CINCINNATI — A man has been arrested and is facing charges after he allegedly caused the death of a motorcyclist in June, according to court records.

Court documents say 39-year-old Erik Toelke caused the crash that killed 52-year-old Holly Michelle Deeley Wilhite.

Wilhite was driving a motorcycle on River Road around 10 p.m. that night in June when Toelke rear-ended her, according to court documents.

The crash resulted in a stretch of River Road in Sayler Park being closed for hours while police investigated the crash.

Toelke faces two charges of vehicular manslaughter for his alleged role in the crash.
