Lake Orion Man dies in Cycle Crash
Traverse City — A 33 year old Lake Orion man was killed Friday in a fall from his motorcycle. Robert Gregory Nickson died enroute to Munson Medical Center at approximately 2 pm after he was found crawling in the middle of Hodge Road north of M113 in Kingsley by a passing motorist.
Grand Traverse County Sheriff deputies said William A. Haag, 68, of Fife Lake, discovered Nickson crawling in the almost deserted sand track while making his rounds as a dog census taker. Haag put Nickson in his care and took him to the old Kingsley fire hall where an ambulance was dispatched. Police said Nickson was apparently traveling at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his motorcycle. Deputies estimated that Nickson was thrown some 33 feet following the crash. Haag told police that Nickson did not appear to be in critical condition, thanking him over and over again for coming to his aid. Hospital authorities reported that death was caused by a collapsed lung and internal bleeding.
