PORTAGE (WKZO-AM) — A motorcyclist is recovering in a hospital after trying to elude a downed tree on Sprinkle Road in Portage, public safety officers said Tuesday morning.
The tree closed the thoroughfare for at least two hours, with the roadway near the intersection with Zylman Avenue opening again at around 8:40 a.m.
The motorcyclist suffered minor injuries after jumping from the bike to avoid the tree, but struck a stopped vehicle nearby. Power lines were also briefly downed in the area.
