AMBER TOWNSHIP — A 30-year-old Ludington man riding a bicycle was seriously injured Tuesday evening after he allegedly pulled out in the path of a pickup truck. The crash occurred in the 1600 block of North Victory Corner Road, between Hansen and Decker roads. According to personnel on scene, the Ford F-150 pickup and the bicyclist were both northbound on Victory Corner Road when the bicyclist pulled into the path of the truck in an attempt to pull into a driveway.

The pickup truck was driven by a 40-year-old Ludington man, according to the Michigan State Police, and an 18-year-old woman was a passenger in the truck.

Emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene at 8:11 p.m. Those personnel included units from Michigan State Police, Mason County Sheriff’s Office, Scottville Fire Department, Ludington Fire Department, and Life EMS.  The bicyclist was transported by ambulance to Corewell Health Ludington Hospital.
