WRIGHT TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Sept. 4, 2024) – A 49-year-old Marne man succumbed to injuries suffered after crashing his machine near his hometown on Tuesday evening.
Ottawa County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Nicholas Knott initially gave few details as to the identity of the biker, nor many details as to the circumstances of the incident, as he and other first responders were dispatched to I-96 near the 16th Avenue exit shortly after 8 PM. The motorcyclist had been going westbound when he apparently lost control and ran off the roadway by some distance.
He was taken to Corewell-Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, and on Wednesday, Sheriff’s Sergeant Chris Dill disclosed that Dirk O’Brien had died as a result of the crash.
The matter remains under investigation, and anyone with any information is still asked to contact the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department or Ottawa County Silent Observer (877-887-4536).
