The inclement weather of late appears to have caused a rise in traffic accidents. Many of these might be preventable if drivers were more cautious while traveling. The icy roads and reduced visibility can impair the driving ability of even the most experienced motorists, let alone those who may not have been driving for more than a couple of years, something which can lead to more car accidents. This was seen in a recent car accident that occurred here in Michigan where a young motorist stands accused of causing an injury crash.
Car accidents more likely with the recent Michigan weather
DUI car accidents far too common in Michigan
Any fatal car accident is tragic enough on its own. Those who are unfortunate enough to have lost loved ones in car accidents have their worlds completely shattered and must attempt to pick up the pieces after suffering such a terrible loss. That loss is only amplified when the accident was completely preventable. Recently, several Michigan residents were compelled to recount a devastating crash and its aftereffects that were caused by a motorist who allegedly chose to drive under the influence.
Truck accidents: fatal crash in Michigan involving semi-truck
Any car accident is devastating to those involved. Injury and loss of life are some of the biggest risks that people face when they are involved in a crash. When the other vehicle involved happens to be a large truck, the possibility that someone will be severely injured goes up significantly. Recently, here in Michigan, one person died and two others were injured after a collision with a semi-truck. Truck accidents can be particularly deadly, and this one was no exception.
Toxic fumes released in one of Michigan's truck accidents
Many of our goods in this country are transported by semi-trucks. Unfortunately, these trucks are occasionally involved in serious truck accidents. When thinking of possible casualties of these crashes, what often comes to mind are the people in vehicles that might be hit by these large trucks. Sometimes, there can be other potential victims. A recent truck accident in Michigan highlighted this potential problem when it was discovered that it may have released toxic fumes as a result of the crash.
Michigan car accidents claim lives of young people too often
One of the last things any parent wants to deal with is the death of a child. Many times, that loss occurs in an unfortunate car accident, making the situation even more difficult. It comes as no surprise that too many youth are tragically killed in car accidents on Michigan roads each year. A recent single-vehicle accident has resulted in the death of a 12-year-old.
