Oddly, Ohio has two definitions of "motor vehicle" one that can be used in criminal cases and one that can't. Guy flips his Polaris in Burgoon, Ohio, and breaks passengers bones. Can't be charged with vehicular assault.

[Court News Ohio @courtnewsohio]

TODAY: The @OHSupremeCourt decided the driver of a utility vehicle cannot be convicted of a felony for injuring his passengers when he flipped it because the vehicle does not meet the definition of “motor vehicle” under the Ohio criminal code.
