According to a preliminary investigation, a 39-year-old Howell woman in a 2016 Ford Expedition, was turning left onto Hickory Hills Boulevard from Highland Road. She turned in front of a 2023 Honda CMX300 motorcycle traveling westbound operated by the 20-year-old.

The driver of the motorcycle was pronounced deceased at the scene by Livingston County EMS while the driver of the Ford was uninjured.
