At 11:30 p.m. on Monday, May 6, troopers responded to westbound I-94 near Merriman Road after receiving a report of a motorcycle crash.

An investigation revealed that two motorcyclists were speeding when one lost control of the motorcycle and crashed into the concrete wall.

The 19-year-old operator was thrown off the motorcycle and hit a light pole. He was pronounced dead.
