Wyoming, MI (January 9, 2022) - There were reported injuries following a crash in the Wyoming area on Friday morning, January 7. The accident was reported on 28th Street between Division and Buchanan Avenues.
According to initial reports, a garbage truck and a semi-truck were involved in the collision. The driver of the semi reportedly ran a red light at the intersection and crashed into the garbage truck. The impact caused the garbage truck to overturn.
Several lanes at the scene were closed due to the accident. There were confirmed injuries at the scene. No additional information has been provided.
An investigation into the cause of the crash is underway.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Commercial trucks deliver the majority of freight in the United States, and these enormous vehicles can pose considerable danger to passengers in passenger automobiles. In the event of a crash, occupants of smaller vehicles are at greater risk of suffering life-threatening injuries, and this is backed up by national accident statistics. Every year, over 500,000 trucking accidents are reported, resulting in thousands of deaths.
Semi-trucks cause more than their fair share of devastating vehicle collisions across the country, including right here in Michigan. The statistics speak for themselves, and the bottom line is that Tucking accidents are extremely dangerous, especially when they involve smaller passenger vehicles. Rig operators are required to make safety a priority, but due to intense pressures on the road, even the most skilled trucker can make a critical error that leads to a catastrophic 18-wheeler accident.
