State patrol investigating SUV-motorcycle crash in Millbury

Today (Tuesday, March 23) at approximately 3:10 p.m., troopers from the Bowling Green Post responded to a two vehicle serious injury crash at the intersection of Woodville Road and Millbury Road in Millbury.

Robert Spurgeon, 89, of Millbury, was driving a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox northbound on Millbury Road. Ross Burdge, 58, of Curtice, was driving a 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle northwest bound on Woodville Road. Trudie Burdge, 54, of Curtice, was a passenger on the motorcycle. 

Spurgeon made a left turn onto Woodville Road and failed to yield the right-of-way at the posted stop sign. Spurgeon’s vehicle struck the Harley Davidson and both occupants were thrown from the motorcycle.

The Burdges were transported to the Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo by Lake Township EMS. Ross’ injuries were non-left threatening and Trudie’s injuries were serious. Spurgeon was not injured and was wearing a safety belt. 

Alcohol is not believed to be a factor.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted at the scene by Lake Township Police Department, Lake Township Fire and EMS, and Pat & Son Towing.
