A collision between a motorcycle and a pickup truck in Wixom earlier this month led to the death of one driver. 

Hometown Life filed a Freedom of Information Act request for more information.

In response, police provided a largely-redacted report that said the collision happened at about 2:30 p.m. May 15 when the driver of the GMC Sierra truck attempted to turn left onto northbound Beck Road. 

The motorcycle driver was transported to a hospital.

The pickup driver, who was not injured, stayed on the scene to talk to police. He sent his wife to the hospital to check on the motorcycle driver.

The motorcycle driver died hours later.

Because of the report redactions, there were no clear details about traffic lights and rights of way. Alcohol and drugs were not apparent factors, police said in the report.
