The name of a Michigan motorcyclist has been released by authorities, as the individual who was killed west of Smithville over the weekend.

William Nelson Ackley, 55, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities say Ackley began to experience some kind of shaking in the front end of his bike, and another biker from his Michigan group moved to avoid Ackley.

It was then both bikers lost control, with both bikes landing in the ditch.

Both bikes landed on Ackley, reportedly contributing to his death.
