DOUGLASS TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Two people were taken to the hospital following a motorcycle crash in Douglas Township Tuesday afternoon.

The Montcalm County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) says the crash happened after 4:30 p.m. on Stanton Road near Nevins Road.

We’re told the motorcycle’s rear tire blew out, causing the driver, a 54-year-old Greenville man, to lose control. Both he and his 47-year-old female passenger were thrown off the motorcycle. They were not wearing helmets at the time.

The Montcalm County Sheriff’s Office originally reported that the 47-year-old Greenville woman had died at the hospital following crash, but the department released a correction Wednesday afternoon stating that she had not died.

The man is still listed in serious condition.

MCSO credits dispatchers, the Stanton Fire Department and Montcalm County Emergency Services for their assistance.
