7/28/14 - A Gratiot County man was critically injured Sunday in a motorcycle crash in Handy Township. The Livingston County Sheriffâs Department says deputies were dispatched at about 1:20 Sunday afternoon to the exit ramp from eastbound I-96 to Fowlerville Road on a report of a motorcycle crash. A preliminary investigation indicates a 60-year-old St. Louis, Michigan man was riding his motorcycle when he exited at the freeway ramp, but failed to negotiate the curve, going off the roadway and into the ditch.
