Another traffic crash occurred on Saturday, October 8, though this time on M-24 and between three vehicles at the I-69 eastbound exit ramp.
Lapeer Police responded a bit before 5:00 a.m. on Saturday to the accident. Investigation determined that an 18-year-old Davison woman had been exiting I-69 and merging north onto M-24 in her 2009 Dodge Avenger when she was struck by a southbound 2018 Chevrolet Silverado. The Silverado’s driver, a 46-year-old man from Fostoria, left his car after the collision and was in the middle of calling 911 when a third vehicle, a 2018 Jeep Compass, collided with the Silverado, which in turn struck the man calling for help.
Of the three drivers, only the Jeep’s driver, a 61-year-old North Branch man, escaped unscathed, with the young Davison woman and man from Fostoria being taken via Lapeer County EMS to McLaren Lapeer Region Hospital. While the Fostoria man only suffered minor injuries, the young woman passed of her injuries shortly upon arrival.
With the crash remaining under investigation, names have not been released. If you have any information related to the investigation, you can contact Officer Steve Hinsberger of the Lapeer PD at 810-664-0833.
Assisting at the scene was the Lapeer County Sheriff’s Office and their accident reconstruction team.
