A Lake man, 31-year-old Benjamin Sherman, died Sunday evening when he ran into the side of a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado pickup driven by a 47-year-old Farwell man as the pickup was crossing Farwell’s Main Street from Webber.
Sherman was riding 2005 Honda motorcycle westbound through the Village when the pickup, which was pulling a trailer, pulled out in front of him.
A release from the Clare County Sheriff’s Office said the truck was crossing Main Street headed south when the crash occurred. Sherman sustained life threatening injuries as a result of the crash and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver of the truck was not injured.
The crash remains under investigation.
Deputies were assisted at the scene by Mobile Medical Response Ambulance Service, Surrey Township Fire & Rescue and Mid Michigan Towing.
They forget they’re pulling a trailer. It happens again and again. The truck is at fault.
