The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office reports that a Tuesday night accident in Port Huron Township left one man dead.
It was just before 9:00 p.m. on October 25 when witnesses observed a 53-year-old man in a 2010 Honda Civic exit Interstate 94 via the Port Huron Welcome Center entrance before going over the driveway’s curb. The Honda Civic proceeded into the marshy area near the welcome center, coming to rest once it collided with a large steel barrier.
The man, from Wales Township, was pronounced dead at the scene and was the only one in the Honda when the accident occurred. Investigation thus far suggests that the man suffered a medical emergency while driving, causing the crash, rather than speed or alcohol.
The investigation is continuing via the work of the St. Clair County’s Medical Examiner and the St. Clair County Accident Investigation Unit.
