Mount Pleasant crash victim credits firefighter for aid

Motorcycle Crash Mount Pleasant Michigan in Mount Pleasant, Michigan: A Sanford couple was injured in a Saturday motorcycle crash in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. A 58-year-old Shepherd man driving a truck veered into the motorcycle on Pickard Road near the Soaring Eagle Waterpark, causing the motorcycle to swerve and throwing Brett DeLong and his 31-year-old wife Kayla violently from the bike. A visiting Knoxville-area firefighter who had just met the couple at a Harley-Davidson store rendered aid until paramedics arrived within five minutes. Michigan State Police are investigating the crash; witnesses said the truck clipped the motorcycle's rear light, though another witness said the truck caused the motorcycle to swerve without striking it.
