wayward turkey buzzard caused a crash that killed an 18-year-old motorcyclist in southwestern Michigan.

Van Buren County sheriff’s deputies say a large bird flew into Dillon Reed’s path as the Bloomingdale man was riding his motorcycle Monday about 45 miles southwest of Grand Rapids.

The turkey buzzard slammed into Reed’s chest, causing him to lose control and leave the roadway. He crashed into nearby trees a few miles southeast of Bloomingdale.

Reed was wearing a helmet. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

About two years we drove by a bike accident where the bike hit a deer. Both a biker (no helmet) and the deer were lying on the ground dead, very bad scene.
