On Sunday, September 1 at 10:00 A.M., deputies from Mecosta County responded to a car and bicyclist accident in the Village of Mecosta.

The investigation found that a 12-year-old male was riding his bike on Moore Street and failed to stop at the intersection of Franklin Street due to not having brakes. A northbound vehicle, driven by a 57-year-old male from Remus, attempted to avoid the collision but struck the bike. This caused the 12-year-old to fall off, where he recieved minor injuries. He was not transported to the hospital.

Deputies were assisted on scene by Morton Township Fire/Rescue and EMS units.
