An 18-year-old man from West Bloomfield suffered severe injuries following a motorcycle accident that ended with him falling off the top level of a Birmingham parking garage last week. The incident, which occurred around 6:19 p.m. on Friday according to CBS News, drew immediate police and emergency response to the Park Street Parking Structure where the individual was found.
Upon their arrival at the scene, first responders found the teen lying on the sidewalk, already being attended to by bystanders who were trying to provide help. Despite a swift transport to a local hospital after fire officials arrived, the young man's injuries were noted as severe. The Birmingham Police Department relayed that the victim was operating his friend's motorcycle before losing control and striking the barrier wall, a detail confirmed by witnesses and reported by mlive.
Further investigation into the event revealed the motorcycle crashed over the edge of the parking facility located at 333 Park Street near Woodward and Oakland Avenue. Police are continuing to look into the cause of the accident, as noted in statements by The Detroit News. No updates on the condition of the teenager have been made available following his admittance to the hospital.
The identity of the teenager has not been released to the public as of yet, with officials likely to provide more information as the inquiry progresses. Authorities have not commented on whether any charges will be filed or further safety measures will be implemented following the accident.
