Rochester Hills Dad Dies After Motorcycle Crash

A Rochester Hills man died Thursday after he was thrown from his motorcycle on Wednesday during a vehicle collision.

Brian Michael Wesp, 30, died at 12:02 a.m. Thursday, confirmed the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

According to a report from the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, he was driving his 2008 Harley-Davidson east on Walton Boulevard near Baldwin Road in Pontiac when a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu driven by a 55-year-old Pontiac woman turned into a grocery store parking lot in front of him. 

Wesp was thrown from the bike; he lost his helmet before landing on the sidewalk, the report stated. He was transported to McLaren Hospital in Pontiac and then transferred to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oakt.

The driver of the Malibu was not injured. After hitting the motorcycle driver, her car struck a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado driven by a 47-year-old Auburn Hills woman. That woman was not injured, either.

The accident remains under investigation; alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash.

According to his obituary from the Price Funeral Home, Wesp was the father of a daughter, Jewel. He was a lifelong resident of Rochester Hills.
