Deputy Dennis Michael Nash, Oakland County Sheriff’s Department, was seriously injured, Aug. 1, when he crashed his motorcycle on Andersonville Road near White Lake Road.
The 37-year-old Ortonville man lost control in loose gravel at about 11:35 p.m., and was thrown from his motorcycle. Independence Township Fire Department transported him to to Genesys Regional Medical Center, where he underwent surgery. Nash, a deputy for the past 13 years, works in the Main Jail Annex in Pontiac.
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash. A county Crash Reconstruction Unit is assisting Independence Township deputies with the investigation.
