Local reports revealed that a 1994 GMC Sierra was headed northbound on the highway. The 30-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle while traveling on the icy roadway. A 24-year-old Howell woman riding in the GMC was partially ejected when the vehicle crashed. She sustained fatal injuries.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family in hopes of a full recovery.
Driving is extremely dangerous, and tens of thousands of people are killed in car accidents every year in the United States. In Michigan, 889 people were killed in 834 collisions in 2011. Nearly half of those killed in car accidents in the state were wearing seatbelts at the time of impact. In 2019, 985 people were killed and nearly 75,000 were injured in Michigan traffic accidents.
It's nearly impossible to bear the pain and anguish of losing a loved one as a result of someone else's carelessness. For those close to the victim, it can have unintended consequences.
