A grisly scene unfolded on 12 Mile Road in Warren, Michigan, when a motorcyclist was killed after colliding with a pickup truck. The incident occurred around 7:35 a.m. Thursday, according to reports from ClickOnDetroit.

The motorcyclist, a man driving at a high rate of speed, was seen dangerously weaving to now and then cut through the flow of traffic on the westbound lane before striking the Chevrolet pickup. Bystanders rushed to provide emergency first aid and administer CPR to the motorcyclist, who sustained severe injuries. Despite the swift aid of witnesses and the arrival of the emergency medical team, the man was later declared dead at the hospital.

According to MLive, the driver of the pickup truck was unharmed in the accident. Police have confirmed the pickup driver is fully cooperating with the ongoing investigation. Additionally, there has been no indication from authorities that alcohol or drugs were involved in the fatal encounter.

The aftermath of the crash led the officials to close a portion of 12 Mile Road for several hours, urging drivers to seek alternative routes during the investigation. While closure impacted the morning commute, the police meticulously combed through the scene to piece together the moments leading up to the collision. Details surrounding the identity of the motorcyclist or the cause that compelled such reckless maneuvering remain sparse, pending further investigation and an autopsy to ascertain whether impairment played a role, as noted by FOX 2 Detroit.

The findings of the investigation, once complete, are expected to provide clearer insights into the tragic circumstances of the crash.
