A motorcyclist who was fleeing from Wyandotte police crashed and died in Riverview on Thursday night, Oct. 15.

Wyandotte police said in a release that officers were notified at about 10 p.m. of a motorcycle traveling south on Biddle Avenue into the city at about 100 mph. Officers located the motorcycle at Biddle and Spruce Street and attempted a traffic stop.

 The driver failed to stop and fled at a speed greater than 100 mph,  the release said.  During the pursuit, the motorcycle entered oncoming traffic, continuing to travel at a high speed. 

The motorcycle had no license plate, the release said.

It entered Riverview and turned onto a road with no outlet. The driver lost control and crashed. Officers found him unresponsive; he was transported to a hospital, where he later died, the release said. Police did not release his name.

The Michigan State Police are investigating, which is customary in motorist deaths that follow a police pursuit.
