A motorcycle crash Aug. 16 on M-66 near Elmwood Drive north of Ionia injured the rider when he crashed and his motorcycle landed on top of him. Ionia County Sheriff’s deputies report a 62- year-old Ionia man was transported to Ionia Sparrow Hospital, then flown by Aeromed to Spectrum Health Butterworth in Grand Rapids where he is listed in serious condition.

Moments before the crash occurred, Ionia Central Dispatch was getting information that the 2012 Harley Davidson motorcycle was all over the road, deputies said.

Investigation showed that the unidentified man was south bound on M-66 when he drifted off the right side of the road, struck the curb and lost control of the motorcycle.

The driver was not wearing a helmet. Alcohol is a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation. The Ionia Department of Public Safety, Life Ambulance, AeroMed and Ruehs Towing assisted deputies at the scene.
