Saginaw, MI (July 19, 2023) - On Tuesday afternoon, July 18, a woman from Ogemaw County was killed in a collision that took place in Saginaw, according to local police.
Per a statement provided by Det. Sgt. Matthew Gerow of the Saginaw Police Department, officers were called to the accident at about 4:20 p.m. on Tuesday. The incident reportedly took place on North Washington Avenue, close to the intersection with North 6th Avenue.
Gerow said that the accident involved a black 2007 Dodge Caliber, which was traveling northbound along Washington, and a gray 2013 Ford pickup truck.
A 51-year-old Ogemaw County man, who was driving the Dodge, allegedly lost control, crossed over into the southbound lanes and hit the Ford truck head-on.
A 37-year-old female passenger in the Dodge sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead upon arrival at a nearby hospital, Gerow stated. The occupants of the Ford truck suffered only minor injuries, though Gerow did not clarify whether the Dodge's driver was hurt or hospitalized.
Police say alcohol and speed likely played a role in the wreck, but the SPD is handling the active and ongoing investigation. Witnesses who saw the collision were asked to step forward in the interim.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the deceased woman's family. Our thoughts are with the injured victims in hopes of their full recovery.
