BLOOMINGDALE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - An 18-year-old motorcyclist died Monday afternoon when he was struck in the chest by a turkey buzzard.
Dillon Matthew Reed was driving a 2007 Kawasaki east on CR 380 near 39 1/2 Street around 12:45 p.m. when a turkey buzzard flew into him and caused him to lose control. The Bloomingdale man went off the road, hit some trees and died at the scene.
Pat Cantrell likely was one of the last to see Reed alive as she heard and saw his motorcycle whiz by her house.
"And I knew it was him as soon as I seen that little motorcycle, because I had seen him before on it," she said.
