FLINT, MI, (October 01, 2024) - On Tuesday evening, officers from the Flint Police Department responded to a traffic accident at the intersection of Aubrey Street and Flint Park Boulevard.
Micah Bush lost his life on Tuesday evening as the result of a motorcycle crash at Aubrey Street and Flint Park Boulevard in Flint.
The investigation revealed that the victim, identified as 35-year-old Micah Jamal Bush, was riding a maroon Harley-Davidson motorcycle east on Flint Park Boulevard when he was hit by a black Saturn Aura traveling south on Aubrey Street.
Bush was pronounced dead at the scene due to the injuries sustained in the collision.
The police department indicated that speed is believed to have been a contributing factor in the crash. The investigation remains ongoing.
MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION
This accident underscores the dangers that motorcyclists face on our roadways each day. According to the most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration National Center for Statistics and Analysis, there were 5,636 motorcycle fatalities in 2021 — the highest number ever recorded.
Candice Bond, an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, said in such cases, it is imperative to preserve evidence through an independent probe.
“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal. “Your lawyer has the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct drivers’ background checks, locate witnesses to the crash and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide the heartbroken family of a victim during this difficult time, protecting their legal rights while ensuring that a driver is held accountable after disobeying traffic laws.”
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
Pending the investigation, the family of Micah Bush may pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.
“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Bond.
“We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected."
