FROM LOCAL REPORTS
CASNOVIA TWP. -- A Hesperia motorcyclist and his female passenger were critically injured when a pickup truck driven by a man without a driver's license turned into their path Saturday afternoon on Apple Avenue in Casnovia Township. Karen Long, 65, of Sparta, the passenger on the motorcycle, was listed in critical condition this morning at Spectrum Health Services Butterworth Campus. The condition of the driver of the motorcycle, Kenneth Golden, 57, of Hesperia, was upgraded to fair this morning at Spectrum. Both were wearing helmets at the time of the crash. The driver of the pickup truck, Craig Veltkamp, 31, of Ravenna, was not injured. He faces a possible five-year felony charge of driving without a license and causing serious injury, police said. If there is a fatality, he would face a possible 15-year felony.According to the Michigan State Police Grand Haven post, the accident occurred at 1:05 p.m. Saturday as Golden and Long were riding a motorcycle west on Apple Avenue. Veltkamp was driving a pickup east on Apple and had stopped to make a left turn onto Waterloo Street. He turned in front of the westbound motorcycle, which struck the right side of his truck. When a trooper arrived at the scene, Veltkamp told him, "you might as well take me to jail right now," because he did not have a driver's license. Veltkamp, who lost his license because of a number of moving violations, told the trooper that he recently had spent $2,000 in an unsuccessful effort to get his license reinstated.The accident remained under investigation this morning. |
