PORT HURON, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say one man died and four other people were hurt in an accident involving several motorcycles in eastern Michigan.
The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Sunday that the man who died lost control of his motorcycle while transitioning from blacktop to gravel on Saturday afternoon.
The deceased rider is a 56-year-old man from Southgate. His name was not released.
