Bicyclist severely injured in Mackinac County hit and run

Mackinac County Sheriff's Office

ST. IGNACE, MI— The Mackinac County Sheriff's Office is looking for the vehicle involved in a hit-and-run accident on Wednesday.

It happened around 9 a.m. on the Mackinac Trail, just north of Gorman Road in St. Ignace Township. Deputies say a bicyclist was hit from behind by a northbound pickup truck. The collision knocked the bicyclist from their bike and into the ditch and tore the passenger-side mirror off the truck.

The bicyclist is hospitalized with serious injuries.

The suspect vehicle is believed to be a 2007–2013 GMC Sierra or Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck that is missing its passenger side mirror.

Anyone with information regarding the accident is asked to call the Mackinac County Sheriff’s Office at 906-643-1911, or the anonymous Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at 906-643-1165.
