A motorcyclist suffered serious injuries when he was hit from behind by a car last week.

According to the Kent County Sheriff Department, the accident occurred on Wednesday, October 7, at the intersection of White Creek and 16 Mile, at approximately 5:45 a.m. Police said that a 21-year-old White Cloud man was travelling southbound in his car, on White Creek Avenue, when he struck the rear end of a motorcycle.  The motorcycle was ridden by a 62-year-old Cedar Springs man, who was stopped on White Creek Ave waiting to turn onto 16 Mile Rd.

The motorcyclist was taken to Spectrum Butterworth Hospital, with serious injuries.  The 21-year-old suffered no injuries.

Heavy fog was believed to be a factor, however, alcohol was not.
