A 56-year-old Fenton man on a 2011 Harley Davison motorcycle was killed on Kensington Road at I-96 on Friday by a vehicle attempting a U-turn.
According to a release from the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, a 50-year-old Milford man driving a 2016 Ford Fusion with a 21-year-old Highland man as a passenger was southbound on Kensington Road at about 5:14 p.m. Friday, May 13. Kensington Road was closed north of I-96, so the driver pulled off the road to check for directions; the driver then attempted to make a U-turn when his vehicle struck the motorcycle.
The Fenton man — who was not wearing a helmet, according to the release — was ejected off the motorcycle. He was transported to Providence Hospital in Novi by Livingston County EMS, where he died.
The men in the Ford Fusion were uninjured. They were wearing their seat belts, according to the release.
The roadway was closed for approximately fours hours during the investigation and cleanup.
Alcohol and speed do not appear to be factors in the crash, which remains under investigation by the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies were assisted on scene by the Brighton Area Fire Department, Metroparks Police Department, and Livingston County EMS.
