MARQUETTE, MI-- A motorcyclist from Charlevoix has died from injuries sustained in a crash with a vehicle in Garden Township earlier this month.
Troopers from the Gladstone Post say on June 17 Robert Sjoholm, 68, was driving his bike eastbound on US-2 near Garden Corners. He hit a car driven by a 20-year-old Baraga woman who was trying to turn westbound onto the highway from 0.25 Road.
Nobody in the car was injured. Sjoholm was taken to Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital, then transferred to UPHS-Marquette, where he has been in the Intensive Care Unit. Officials say Sjoholm succumbed to his injuries Monday.
Troopers say Sjoholm’s speed and limited line of vision at Garden Corners are contributing factors, but drugs and alcohol were not.
