Man injured in motorcycle crash

A White Pigeon man was injured this week after the motorcycle he was driving was involved in an accident in Florence Township.

Sheriff Mark Lillywhite said deputies were called at 4:30 p.m. Monday to Banker Road and Burgener Road in response to a-car-versus-motorcycle incident.

The 53-year-old motorcycle driver was traveling north on Burgener Road when he disregarded a stop sign and was struck by a westbound Chevrolet Traverse.

It was driven by a 71-year-old Sturgis man.

The motorcyclist was ejected from the bike and landed in a ditch. He suffered major injuries and was airlifted to Kalamazoo.

The Sturgis man was not injured.
