Detroit, MI (January 18, 2024) – At least one person was transported to an area hospital with injuries following a motor vehicle accident that occurred in Detroit on Wednesday evening, January 17. The crash was reported to law enforcement at around 5:20 p.m.
According to official reports, the left lane of travel was blocked on the eastbound side of Interstate 94 near Woodward Avenue. The incident prompted the closure of the roadway, causing delays in traffic that extended back to Interstate 96 at Exit 213. Emergency officials remained at the scene for an extended period as they worked to remove the involved vehicles from the roadway. Paramedics were summoned to care for those harmed and to transport injured victims to local hospitals for further medical attention. Investigations surrounding the cause of the collision are ongoing.
Our warmest thoughts are with everyone affected by this motor vehicle accident. We hope the injured victims recover quickly
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that road traffic accidents account for roughly 1.35 million fatalities annually, ranking it as the eighth most common cause of death worldwide. Here in the United States, we see tens of thousands of people lose their lives as a result of automobile collisions. Millions more are left with serious injuries that affect their lives indefinitely.
The unfortunate truth is that the vast majority of accidents take place as a result of human error. Speeding, distractions, and impairment are just three of the most common factors reported in automobile accidents across the United States. After being hurt in an accident, it is common for victims to have to go through extensive medical treatment. We often see victims left with spinal cord fractures, internal organ injuries, and trauma to the head. These and other serious injuries can have a significant impact on the health and well-being of the victim. In fact, a serious injury has the ability to change every facet of a person’s life.
