Michigan Overturned Car Accident Kills One, Injures Three
There was a tragic story in the news yesterday about a Brighton Township car accident. One man was killed in the car accident, while three other individuals suffer injuries. The accident took place on Thursday, June 3rd, at 7:30 a.m. on I-96 at Spencer Road. According to police, a car exiting from westbound I-96 to Spencer Road overturned causing the driver and two other passengers to be ejected from the car. Two of the individuals who were ejected from the car were taken to the University of Michigan Hospital, where one of them died. The passenger that was not ejected had to be removed from the car with the help of the Brighton area firefighters and suffered injuries as well. The driver suffers only minor injuries. Speed appears to be a factor in the accident.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident. My condolences go out to the family members of the man who was killed in the accident and wish the three other individuals recover from the accident without any permanent damages or injuries.
