ALBION TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - A 2-year-old boy and his dad were injured after their dirt bike collided with a four-wheeler driven by the child's grandfather.
No one was wearing helmets, police said in a news release.
Calhoun County sheriff's officials were called at 12:30 p.m. Sunday to the crash near D Drive South and Hill Road in Albion Township.
