WAVERLY TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A motorcyclist has died after crashing with a Ford Bronco in Van Buren County Wednesday morning.
Michigan State Police (MSP) says the crash happened at CR 665 and M-43 in Waverly Township at around 9 a.m.
We’re told the southbound Bronco tried to turn east onto M-43 when it approached a flashing stop light at the intersection.
MSP says the Bronco stopped before it turned but the westbound motorcyclist, who troopers say had the right of way, was hit.
The motorcyclist died on the scene, authorities say. He has since been identified as 49-year-old Matthew Perry from Bangor.
Troopers tell us the other driver, a 26-year-old Grand Junction man, sustained minor injuries.
Authorities do not suspect alcohol or drugs as factors in the crash.
We’re told Perry had a helmet on during the crash, which closed the road for roughly four hours.
