Motorbike Operator Killed in Accident

September 24, 2019 by Scott Smith

Kalamazoo, MI: On September 24, 2019, at 02:43 a.m., Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety officers responded to a report of a person involved in a motorbike accident on the railroad access road near the 500-block of N Edwards St. Upon arriving at the scene, officers discovered a 56-year-old male next to the rail road tracks with a severe head injury. Officers initiated life-saving measures, but were unsuccessful. The accident victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim had been operating a motorized bicycle without a helmet on the maintenance road adjacent to the rail road tracks when he struck a fixed object.

The victim’s name is being withheld pending notification of relatives.

The incident is still under investigation and Public Safety is asking anyone with information on this stabbing to contact Kalamazoo Public Safety at 269-337-8994 or Silent Observer at 269-343-2100, kalamazoosilentobserver.com.
