Motorcyclist killed in crash; Ford Road in Superior Township blocked for investigation
Washtenaw County Sheriff’s deputies are blocking off a portion of Ford Road in Superior Township after a man was killed in a motorcycle accident Wednesday night, authorities said.
Superior Township Fire Captain Ronald Smith said a call came in reporting the accident at about 6:17 p.m.
The male driver, who was riding alone, was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after police and fire crews arrived, Smith said.
The damaged motorcycle was found in a yard in the 6000 block of Ford Road.
The Superior Township Fire Department and Huron Valley Ambulance responded and have left the scene, but a Washtenaw Sheriff’s Department investigation continues.
A sheriff’s office dispatcher said Ford Road is blocked off between Plymouth Road and Andora Drive.
Smith said the area is a straight stretch of road and was unsure what may have caused the single-vehicle accident.

it's not fair that you had to leave us so soon. You will forever be missed and loved by all of us , you were a real friend and I thought of you as a brother. I love you.

The motorcyclist will be terribly missed. Can't believe some people are leaving such foolish comments. I care what happened but I care more about the fact that I will never be able to hang out with my friend ever again. Please have a heart when you are leaving comments.

acd5835 thanks...your early information seems to be pretty accurate. I have heard the emergency response time was remarkably fast. I just wish commenters would wait, in respect of the deceased/family to make opinionated comments. We should all reserve our thoughts until the police investigation is completed, hence A@.com will publish the findings.

Sorry my post was unclear, I am not with Superior FD. Rather, I am with Ann Arbor Township FD.
