Taylor, MI (July 31, 2023) - According to officers with the Taylor Police Department, an allegedly distracted driver crashed into another car early on Sunday morning, July 30, in Taylor.

Around 11:40 a.m., the 30-year-old man was traveling on I-94 eastbound near Telegraph Road when police say that he reached down for a cigarette. He collided with a Jeep as he looked up and then made a left-hand correction, rolled over several times, and ended up in the median ditch before crashing into a large light post before the westbound side of I-94.

The suspected at-fault driver sustained major internal injuries and was rushed to a local hospital. The driver of the Jeep was also hurt and suffered a concussion. Paramedics transported the victim to an area medical center, though their current condition is unclear.

TPD officers say their investigation is active and ongoing but have not said whether citations or charges will be filed in connection with the crash.

Our thoughts and best wishes for a full recovery are extended to the injured victims at this time.
