RIGA, Mich. - A 56-year-old Riga man was hospitalized in serious condition after crashing his aircraft Monday night on Bierman Road in Riga Township in Lenawee County, authorities said.

He was taken to Toledo Hospital where he was listed in serious condition, according to information released Tuesday by the Adrian post of the Michigan State Police.

The cause of the crash is not yet known.
