Both motorcycles were traveling at a high rate of speed when they crested a hill near the intersection of Shepherd Road and Bent Oak Highway. The car, driven by an 87 year old Adrian Township woman was slowing down to make a left hand turn onto southbound Bent Oak.

The 87 year old driver of the vehicle was transported to Bixby Hospital, where she was treated and released.

The other motorcycle driver, a 25 year old Onsted resident, was able to avoid striking the vehicle, however, he lost control and crashed into a ditch. He was treated at the scene and released.

Alcohol and/or drugs do not appear to be involved at this time.
