8/22/13 - A Brighton man is listed in critical condition following a motorcycle accident in the City of Pontiac yesterday. Deputies with the Oakland County Sheriff Officeâs Pontiac Substation responded to the crash that happened shortly before 2pm at the intersection of Huron and State Streets. Preliminary investigation reveals a 65-year-old Brighton man was traveling west on Huron Street on a 1995 Honda motorcycle when a motorcyclist he was riding with, a 73-year-old Brighton resident on a 2011 CanAm Spyder, turned right onto State Street in front of him. The two motorcycles collided, causing the 65-year-old man on the Honda to fall off. Deputies found him unconscious and suffering from head trauma at the scene. He was transported to McLaren Hospital, where he is listed in critical condition and was undergoing surgery. The 73-year-old man was not injured. Authorities say both motorcyclists were wearing helmets and alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation. (JM)
