Highland Park, MI (January 9, 2022) - On Saturday night, January 8, a two-vehicle collision in Highland Park involving a fire truck left one person dead and another injured. The deadly crash took place at the intersection of Davison Freeway and Oakland Street at around 11 p.m. 

There were firetrucks with their emergency lights on stationed at the intersection assisting two other vehicles that were in the embankment. A 1996 Ford Explorer traveling westbound lost control and crashed into one of the fire engines. Emergency responders had to cut the driver out of the vehicle and perform lifesaving aid. 

The 57-year-old Detroit driver sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in the vehicle was hospitalized for the treatment of sustained injuries. No additional information has been provided. 

An ongoing investigation into the cause of the fatal crash is underway. 

Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

Highland Park, MI - Passenger Injured in Crash with Fire Truck on Davison Fwy

Driving is a dangerous activity, and tens of thousands of people are killed in car accidents in the United States each year. In 2011, 889 people were killed in Michigan in 834 collisions. At the time of impact, nearly half of those killed in car accidents in the state were wearing seatbelts. In Michigan traffic accidents in 2019, 985 people were killed and nearly 75,000 were injured.

In order to maximize the value of their damage claim, injured plaintiffs must make the right decisions in the moments following an accident. Many victims are unsure how to get the compensation they need after a serious accident. As a result, they may feel isolated and befuddled. When people who have been injured try to fight a large insurance company on their own, they frequently encounter roadblocks and other issues. This only adds to the stress and frustration of the situation. In some cases, injured parties can speak with a Highland Park car accident lawyer to learn more about their legal rights and options for filing a claim and receiving just compensation.
