MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, MI-- A motorcycle driver suffered scrapes and possible broken bones when he crashed his bike in Marquette Township Sunday.
Marquette County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to US-41 near Brickyard Road around 1:45 p.m. They say a Laurium man was headed eastbound into a roundabout on his Harley Davidson when he hit the curb. The rider lost control of the bike. It hit a second curb and ejected the rider. The motorcycle then slid on its side a short distance down the paved shoulder.
The driver was not wearing a helmet. He was taken to UPHS-Marquette for treatment.
US-41 traffic was backed up for about an hour while the crash was investigated.
