Man killed in motorcycle crash on Detroit's southwest side

DETROIT – Friends and family gathered Sunday on Fort Street to remember Michael Blackwell. 

Blackwell was killed just before 11:30 p.m. Saturday when he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed on Fort Street near Schaefer Highway.

A friend said Blackwell may have taken a curve too quickly, causing him to lose control.

Blackwell struck a light pole and was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
