Motorcyclist Seriously Hurt in Crash

(Michigan City, IN) - A crash between a car and motorcycle in Michigan City over the weekend resulted in a serious injury.

 

The accident happened on Saturday night on Franklin Street in front of a Wendy’s restaurant.

 

Michigan City Police said it appears a northbound vehicle tried turning left into the Wendy’s, but wound up in the path of the oncoming motorcycle with two people aboard. The seriously injured person ejected from the motorcycle was transported to Franciscan Health Hospital.

 

So far, no further information has been released, but La Porte County Sheriff Ron Heeg said drivers should pay special attention and look twice before turning since motorcycles are back on the roads as a result of warmer weather. He said the typical response from drivers causing such crashes is "I just didn't see him."
