There was story on the news the other day about a woman killed and 3 others injured in a fatal Berrien County head-on car accident on November 12 in Watervliet County. According to the Berrien County Sheriff’s Department, a 31-year-old man was traveling on Red Arrow Highway when he was allegedly unable to stop in time for some construction, veered around the construction and into the westbound lane of traffic.

His van then allegedly struck, head-on, a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am, driven by a 31-year-old man along with his 37-year-old wife, 17-year-old son and a 44-year-old friend. The three men were taken by ambulance to local hospital to be treated for their serious injuries. The driver’s wife was flown to Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo where she later died from her injuries. Police are still investigating this accident.

I read a tragic story in the paper this morning about a fatal Belleville drunk-driving rollover accident that occurred in the early morning hours today in Van Buren Township on I-94. According to police, a westbound Jeep Liberty, with a driver and three passengers, veered off I-94 and flipped multiple times near the rest stop between Bellville Road and Rawsonville Road. Three of the car’s occupants were thrown from the vehicle. One passenger died and the others were taken to a local hospital. Police are still investigating this accident and believe alcohol was a factor in the crash.

There was a tragic story in the news today about a pedestrian killed by a pick-up truck in Ross Township in Kalamazoo County on October 15th.

The truck driver was uninjured. Police are still investigating the accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and wish my most heart-felt condolences to the family of the pedestrian for their loss.
