(CBS DETROIT) - An 18-year-old Detroit-area man was injured after he lost control of a motorcycle and went off the top level of a parking structure last week.

At 6:19 p.m. on Friday, officers responded to the Park Street Parking Structure in Birmingham after receiving a report of a man who had fallen from the top level.

When they arrived, they discovered an 18-year-old West Bloomfield man lying on the sidewalk with people attempting to provide aid.
