Woman Dies and Another Seriously Injured in Accident with Semi-Trucks on Interstate 96 in Clinton County, Michigan


Clinton County, Mich. – A woman was killed after her car was crushed between two semi-trucks. The incident happened on Interstate 96 on Wednesday afternoon.

According to reports, the woman was stopped in construction traffic in her 2017 Chevrolet Cruze when a semi-truck rear-ended her vehicle. Preliminary investigations indicate it appears the truck driver was not paying attention.

The impact triggered a chain reaction, pushing the Cruze into a 2020 Land Rover, which was forced into another semi-truck. The Land Rover flipped into a ditch, and the Cruze was crushed between the two semi-trucks.

The woman driving the Cruze was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Land Rover, a 62-year-old woman, sustained serious injuries.

No additional details have been provided.

Thoughts on distracted truck drivers

People use our roadways to run errands, visit family, go to work, and return home safely. Roads should never be a place where people are seriously injured or die. When preventable accidents happen through no fault of the victim, the injured parties and their families deserve answers, justice, and compensation.

Those responsible for this incident must be held accountable for the harm they have caused. One family now faces life without their loved one, while another individual may endure mounting medical bills, lost wages, and potentially life-altering injuries.

Though money cannot bring back a loved one or fully heal the impact of injuries, it is the law’s way of acknowledging the wrong and recognizing the pain and suffering victims experience through no fault of their own.
