A Howell man is in critical condition after a motorcycle crash in Warren, according to authorities.

The man was riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle eastbound on I-696 when he exited the highway and he inadequately negotiated a curve in the roadway and lost control of the motorcycle.

The bike then flipped multiple times and the man was thrown from the vehicle. Someone driving by called the police and emergency crews transported the man to a hospital in Detroit. Police are still investigating the accident and are urging any witnesses to come forward with information.

Motorcycle accidents can have traumatizing effects on all involved, our thoughts are with the friends and family of the victims.
