OLIVE TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Jul. 15, 2025) – Hitting a deer with a vehicle is bad enough. Doing so on a motorcycle is worse, as a 29-year-old Holland man found out on Tuesday morning.
The moments around dawn and dusk are known by animal and motoring experts as the times when the risk of collisions with deer are the highest, and the incident near the intersection of Polk Street and 108th Avenue north of Zeeland just before 6 AM fits into that time frame. When deputies and other first responders arrived on the scene, they found that the unnamed biker, who had been traveling eastbound, had been thrown from his machine upon impact with the animal that had entered the roadway ahead of him. He was taken to Corewell-Zeeland Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries to his arms and legs.
The incident remains under investigation.
