Montcalm Twp, MI (January 18, 2022) - Two drivers were killed following a traffic accident on Monday afternoon, January 17, in the area of Montcalm Township. The fatal crash occurred at the intersection of Sidney and Fitzner Roads at around 1:30 p.m.
It was reported that a 2002 Dodge pickup truck was headed westbound when the driver lost control on the icy roadway. The vehicle crossed the centerline and crashed head-on with an eastbound 2009 Ford. The 67-year-old Edmore woman driving the pickup and the 64-year-old Edmore man driving the Ford were both declared dead at the scene.
A 66-year-old Edmore woman traveling in the Ford was taken to a local hospital for the treatment of sustained injuries. No further information has been provided.
An ongoing crash investigation is underway.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased victims at this time.
A head-on collision is more likely to result in fatal injuries than other car crashes. With a death rate of over 58%, head-on collisions are among the deadliest. They are responsible for more than 10% of all annual road fatalities despite accounting for less than 2% of all reported traffic accidents. Careless or distracted drivers swerving into opposing lanes of traffic are the most common cause of these collisions.
The pain of losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is almost unbearable. It can result in unexpected costs for those who are close to the victim. Family members who survive the accident are frequently the ones who bear the brunt of the accident's consequences. They may be able to recover lost compensation by filing a wrongful death claim with the help of an experienced Montcalm Township wrongful death attorney. A wrongful death claim seeks compensation from those responsible for the deceased's death by holding the at-fault party accountable for their role in a fatal accident.
