A Laingsburg man was killed while riding his moped Saturday morning.

The Shiawassee sheriff's office says the 56-year-old driver was going south on Shaftsburg Road in Middlebury Township when he collided with a deer.

He was airlifted to Sparrow where he later died. Alcohol and speed do not appear to be factors.

The man was not wearing a helmet. Police are still investigating.
