Venice Twp, MI - Detroit Woman Killed in Collision at M-21 & Vernon Rd

Venice Twp, MI (January 31, 2022) - A Detroit woman was killed after being involved in a collision in Venice Township on Saturday night, January 29. The fatal crash was reported at around 9:30 p.m. near the intersection of M-21 and Vernon Road. 

A 2013 Dodge Durango driven by a 25-year-old Dearborn man failed to yield at the intersection and collided with a Saturn Vue. A 28-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man in the Saturn were both ejected in the crash. The woman sustained fatal injuries. 

Both the Dearborn man and his passenger, a 32-year-old Taylor man, were injured in the accident. An infant in the Saturn was properly restrained and not injured. Authorities believe that alcohol and speed were factors in the crash. 

An ongoing investigation into the cause of the deadly crash is underway. 

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families in hopes of a full recovery.

Deadly Intersection Accidents in Michigan

Left-hand turns are responsible for almost 22% of all intersection accidents. According to the Federal Highway Administration, nearly 2.5 million car accidents happen at roadway crossings every year, amounting to more than 40% of all recorded car crashes in the United States. This shows just how serious of an issue intersection safety has become here in Michigan. 

Wrongful death lawsuits are filed when a loved one dies as a result of another party's negligence, with the goal of compensating the surviving family members. Getting that compensation, on the other hand, is frequently easier said than done. The victim's death does not absolve the perpetrator of responsibility. Insurance companies for those who are at fault frequently try to shift blame after a fatal accident. Rather than compensating the family members of the deceased after a fatal car accident, the defendant should compensate the family members to assist with accident-related expenses. You'll need the help of a Venice Township personal injury attorney who has years of experience representing wrongful death victims.
