An Iron Mountain man died Tuesday afternoon when he crashed his motorcycle into a City of Iron Mountain Public Works Department lawn mower.
Michigan State Police say the crash happened at just before 4:00 in the afternoon at the intersection of Lake Antione Road and East Grand Boulevard.
Troopers say the 34-year-old man driving the motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed when he hit the mower that a city employee was driving across the street. The motorcyclist died from his injuries, while the employee on the mower was not hurt. The crash is still under investigation, but again, excessive speed is believed to be a factor. The names of the people involved have not been released.
Assisting MSP at the scene was the Iron Mountain Police Department, Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office, Iron Mountain Fire Department, and Integrity Ambulance.
