Dearborn Heights Biker Killed in a Hit & Run Accident
I read a tragic story about a Dearborn Heights biker killed in a hit & run accident over the weekend. According to the Dearborn police, Gerald Bojanowski was travelling on Telegraph and about to turn into the American Legion when he was struck by a black SUV from behind. Police said a witness told them the SUV driver got out of his vehicle, checked the damage then drove off when he saw witnesses. Bojanowski sustained critical injuries and was taken to Oakwood Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Dearborn Heights Police are asking anyone with information on the black SUV, possibly a Saturn Vue, to call them at 313-943-2241.
I am very sorry to hear that this tragic motorcycle accident happened. My condolences go out to the family and friends of Gerald Bojanowski for their loss.
