Andrew FinkelsteinA man was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash on South Hope Chapel Road in Jackson on October 25.
The Sunday Night Crash on South Hope Chapel Road
Police, firefighters and medical crews were called to the eastern part of Jackson Township at about 8:10 p.m. on Sunday. The crash involved a motorcycle and a sedan and was reported as head-on. The man was semiconscious when crews reached him, so they called for a medical helicopter. A landing zone was set up at Jackson Liberty High School.
The man was lying some distance away from where the two vehicles met. Because of that distance, first responders at first thought a vehicle had hit a pedestrian. He was in serious condition that night.
What Is Known After the Jackson Response
The man's name has not been released, and there has been no update on his condition since the night of the crash. Authorities have not announced any charges. No details have been released about the driver of the sedan.
Witnesses can still make a difference days after a crash. Police often keep asking the public to come forward with anything they saw.
