CASS COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Cass County Sheriff’s Office is reporting that a man was injured in a motorcycle crash that occurred Sunday.
Just after 6 p.m., police were called to the scene at Indian Lake Road and Smith Lake Street in Pokagon Township.
Investigation shows that 67-year-old Niles resident Michal Runnels was traveling northbound on Indian lake Road when a deer ran out in front of him, causing him to lose control of the motorcycle.
Runnels and the motorcycle came to a stop off the roadway when a passerby assisted with getting the motorcycle off of him. Runnels was transported to Lakeland Niles Hospital for minor injuries that had occurred from the crash.
Helmet and protective gear were worn by Runnels, preventing more injuries. Alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor.
