The incident occurred at 10:30 p.m. on northbound I-75 near Dearborn Street. Police reported that the motorcyclist was struck by a semi-truck, which left the scene, and was subsequently hit by multiple other vehicles.
Authorities found the man deceased on the roadway. A 50-year-old semi-truck driver contacted dispatch, stating he had hit something and subsequently left the scene out of fear; he later traveled to Warren, police said.
