Deputy Jordan Rans with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department investigated a two-vehicle accident on Hillcrest Avenue on Thursday afternoon at about 12:45.

72-year-old Cheryl Scarberry of Plymouth was backing out of her driveway onto Hillcrest Avenue in a 2019 Honda CRV and did not see a 2017 Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by 58-year-old Richard Avery of Plymouth, who was traveling south on Hillcrest Avenue.

Avery was unable to avoid Scarberry’s vehicle and struck the vehicle.  He was flown to Memorial Hospital in South Bend to be treated for leg and head injuries. Scarberry was not injured. 

Plymouth Police, Fire and EMS, Lutheran Air, and Lyon's Wrecker Service assisted County Police on the scene.
