CONSTANTINE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal Fourth of July motorcycle crash, that they say likely involved alcohol and high speeds, in addition to the rider not wearing a helmet.
The crash happened at around 3:05 a.m. on July 4, on Featherstone Road near Constantine Road in Constantine Township. Police say James Carlson, 33, was riding a 2014 Harley Davidson when he failed to negotiate a curve, drove off the road, and crashed into two trees.
Carlson was killed in the crash. He was not wearing a helmet, and police believe alcohol and high speeds both played roles in the deadly crash.
