In a devastating turn of events, Redford Township has been shaken by a fiery hit-and-run crash that tragically claimed the life of a motorcyclist on a Sunday evening, April 20, 2025. The incident unfolded around 7:45 p.m. at the bustling intersection of Beech Daly and Plymouth roads, a location familiar to many in the area.
When police arrived, the scene was catastrophic. A motorcycle was engulfed in flames, and a person was found laying nearby, in dire need of assistance. Swiftly, officers rushed in, bravely rescuing the individual from the fiery wreckage and immediately calling for medical support.
The motorcyclist was quickly transported to Corewell Health Hospital in Farmington Hills, where despite the best efforts of medical personnel, the heart-wrenching news was delivered—the motorcyclist was pronounced dead. In a moment of compassion, police have since reached out to the victim’s next of kin to notify them of the tragedy.
Authorities have pieced together a sequence of events leading up to the accident. It appears that the motorcyclist was traveling north on Beech Daly when a white Cadillac made a left turn from southbound Beech Daly onto eastbound Plymouth, colliding with the motorcycle. After the collision, the driver showed no regard for the consequences and fled the scene.
A few hours later, a vehicle believed to be the very same Cadillac involved in the crash was found in the nearby City of Detroit. Investigators are now hot on the trail, working hard to uncover the identity of the driver. They have announced that a possible suspect has already been identified, and the investigation is ongoing, leaving no stone unturned.
Fortunately, authorities indicate that it appears drugs or alcohol did not play a role in this horrific accident. Redford Township Police have expressed their heartfelt condolences to the friends and family of the victim. They are urging all motorists to be vigilant and more attentive to motorcycles as warmer weather encourages more riders to hit the road. It’s a reminder for everyone to drive safely and respect the lives of those on two wheels.
