Detroit Police Seek Info on Hit-and-Run That Injured Motorcyclist
Detroit Police seek info on hit-and-run that injured motorcyclist late Tuesday night, urging the public to come forward with any leads that might help identify those responsible. The incident occurred around 11:14 p.m. along Grand River Road near Hubbell Avenue when a Chevrolet Malibu attempted to make a left turn and collided with a motorcycle.
The crash left the 34-year-old motorcyclist with serious injuries. First responders arrived at the scene and transported the victim to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. Authorities noted that the Malibu involved had visible front-end damage on the driver’s side, a critical detail that could help witnesses recall what they saw.
According to police, both a driver and a passenger were in the Malibu at the time of the collision. However, instead of stopping to help the injured motorcyclist or report the accident, they fled the scene. This act of negligence has turned a traffic incident into a criminal investigation.
Now, the Detroit Police Department’s Fatal Squad Unit is asking anyone who may have seen the crash or has any information about the suspects or the vehicle to come forward. Tips can be submitted directly by calling 313-596-2260, contacting Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-SPEAK-UP, or by submitting a tip online at DetroitRewards.tv. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for information that helps move the investigation forward and leads to an arrest or charges.
