Warren, MI (June 2, 2024) – At around 10:10 p.m. on May 31, the Warren Police Department, firefighters, and emergency medical services were all requested to provide help at the scene of an automobile accident. The collision occurred on 14 Mile Road.
Official reports indicate that a broadside collision involving two light-colored sedans took place on the roadway near Hoover Road. The impact of the crash sent one of the vehicles into a light pole. Emergency officials responded to the scene to assist. Medical personnel were notified that they were needed at the scene to treat injured victims and transport them to area hospitals. At this time, the circumstances surrounding the accident are being investigated.
Our thoughts go out to those harmed in this accident.
The United States witnessed a tragic toll of over 43,000 deaths from traffic accidents last year, marking the highest annual total in 16 years. The number of fatalities resulting from speeding, drunk driving, and distracted driving is on the rise, surpassing the figures seen in 2005, as reported by the most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Over 3,500 individuals lost their lives due to at least one driver's lack of attention, showing a 12% increase from the previous year. Efforts by the NHTSA to promote safe driving and raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving have been ongoing. Despite these safety initiatives and annual assessments by traffic experts, the frequency of serious injury accidents continues to climb, with many more going unreported to authorities.
Cities like Detroit also grapple with concerning statistics. The metropolitan Detroit area hosts 80% of the state's most hazardous intersections. While overall accident rates have dropped by nearly 19% in the Detroit metro region, fatalities have risen by 10% to 1,084, marking the highest number of deaths since 2007.
It's evident that motorists in Detroit and across Michigan face risks every time they take to the road. If you have been injured in a car crash, seeking assistance from a qualified Warren car accident lawyer can help you seek justice.
