ORION TOWNSHIP, MI — A Lake Orion driver was seriously injured by a flying road sign Tuesday morning in Orion Township, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

Officials said a driver veered into the center lane on northbound Lapeer Road near Waldon Road and hit the road sign at 7:45 a.m.

The road sign became dislodged and went airborne into oncoming southbound traffic, officials said.

The 31-year-old Lake Orion man was driving a Volkswagen Passat south on Lapeer Road when the road sign smashed through his windshield and hit him, officials said.

The man was taken to a nearby hospital where he was listed in serious, but stable condition, officials said.

He was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, officials said.
