WAYNE TOWNSHIP, Mich.— A 45-year-old man was taken to the hospital after a motorcycle accident Saturday evening.

Deputies responded to the scene around 4:25pm at the intersection of Dutch Settlement Street and Nubour Road in Cass County.

They say motorcyclist Roger Pedat was driving eastbound on Dutch Settlement when he approached a vehicle waiting to turn onto Nubour.

He tried to avoid a crash by laying down his motorcycle down on the pavement.

No other vehicles were involved in the crash.

Pedat was taken to a hospital to be treated for his injuries.

Deputies say he was wearing a helmet and they don’t believe alcohol was a factor in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.
