WARREN (WWJ) – A 37-year-old Warren man has died after crashing into a pickup truck that pulled out in front of his motorcycle in Warren on Tuesday afternoon.
Warren police and fire units were called to the area of 13 Mile and Schoenherr Roads around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, where they found the man severely injured.
The preliminary investigation revealed the man was riding his motorcycle west on 13 Mile approaching Schoenherr and had the right of way when a Chevy Silverado in the left turn lane tried to turn north onto Schoenherr from 13 Mile in front of the bike.
Officials say the bike slammed into the truck and then hit another vehicle.
The driver, who was not wearing a helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not been released, pending the notification of next of kin.
Officials said all drivers involved immediately stopped and waited for police to respond. No other drivers were hurt.
Alcohol or drugs did not appear to be a factor, Warren police officials said.
Authorities are still investigating at the scene and expect the intersection to remain closed for several hours.
“It is unfortunate when somebody loses their life in a traffic crash. Investigators are working to reconstruct this incident so that we have a more detailed understanding of what occurred. My condolences go out to the victim’s family,” Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer said in a statement.
