When loved ones are killed in automobile accidents caused by intoxicated drivers, the trauma experienced by the family is often intensified. This is because such an accident would not have occurred had the driver not been operating a vehicle while under the influence. Despite campaigns to reduce the occurrences of drunk driving, such car accidents are reported in Michigan daily.

There is little more tragic than a fatal car accident that could have been prevented. Sometimes the driver at fault is driving too fast, sometimes he or she is not paying attention and sometimes he or she may be operating the vehicle under the influence. The latter is what police believe may have caused one of the recent car accidents here in Michigan that claimed a newly-married woman's life and injured two others.
Michigan car accidents often accompany bad weather
The blustery winter weather here in Michigan can create dangerous road conditions for drivers. The first two months of this year have already proven to be deadly for motorists who may have had difficulty navigating through poorer weather. Authorities encourage drivers to use extreme caution or stay home when snow and ice are present in order to avoid car accidents. Sadly, not everyone heeds these warnings. This was highlighted by a recent car crash that took the lives of four people and injured five others.
Truck accidents injure Michigan residents of all ages
Car accidents are an unfortunate reality here in Michigan. The circumstances of each one varies, but they are all devastating for those unlucky enough to experience them. When the accident involves a semi-truck, it can be even more horrific, as larger vehicles pose a greater risk to potential victims. This was highlighted in a recent crash affecting a young girl injured in just one of Michigan's many truck accidents.
