2 sought after hit-and-run kills 13yo in Walled Lake

Detroit, MI – Oakland County Sheriff’s Office is seeking help to locate two people involved in a deadly hit-and-run in Walled Lake that left a 13-year-old girl dead and several others wounded. The terrible accident occurred last Wednesday, near Maple and Decker, during a Walled Lake police pursuit. Trying to escape the police, the driver of a 2023 Jeep Gladiator ran a red light and then collided with two cars. One of the vehicles struck was a 2010 Honda Fit driven by a 51-year-old Commerce Township woman, traveling with her two daughters. A 13-year-old girl was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Her 10-year-old sister was critically wounded, while the mother was hospitalized in serious condition. The passengers in the other car involved escaped with only minor injuries.

Two people in the Jeep Gladiator fled the scene on foot.

“Once again, we’ve seen an individual involved in a horrific crash causing death, flee the scene,” Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. “It’s hard to imagine someone can ignore the basic humanity of helping others. I look forward to this person being held fully accountable for their actions because I’m confident this driver will be found.”

Speeding drivers hit 3 Detroit police cruisers in 1 day

by Neumann Law Group

Detroit drivers don’t seem to understand that traveling at high speed in inclement weather is dangerous. Take, for instance, last Saturday, when Detroit roads were covered in snow. Local police officers were out doing their job despite the terrible weather. According to MSP, three police cruisers were struck by speeding drivers who lost control of their vehicles. Luckily, only one of the officers suffered minor injuries and was treated for back pain.

“Again, the best defense in snow, ice, and rain is to slow down,” said Lieutenant Mike Shaw, MSP Public Information Officer. “We all have to remember that weather does not cause crashes, drivers do.”

Michigan woman injured after car thief hits her truck at 100 mph

by Neumann Law Group

Detroit, MI – A 40-year-old woman was hospitalized after a suspect fleeing police hit her F-150 truck. The crash occurred Tuesday afternoon at Hall and Gratiot in Clinton Township. The impact was so violent it nearly caused Crystal Davenport’s truck to flip over.

It all started after Macomb County police officers noticed a Dodge Durango which had been reported stolen and tried to pursue it. The driver of the Durango hit the accelerator reaching 100 mph, and the police decided to stop pursuit to avoid an accident. However, the suspect did not slow down. He narrowly avoided hitting another car before blowing a red light and broadsiding Crystal. After the crash, the suspect ran on foot, but the officers finally caught up with him after half a mile, near Kensington Church.

The woman was taken to the hospital with neck and back pain. Witnesses said she was very lucky as the suspect did not broadside her truck on the driver’s side.

2 dead in head-on crash outside Detroit

by Neumann Law Group

Two men lost their lives following a head-on crash in Macomb County on Monday. The accident happened near Mile 26, on North Avenue, which remained closed for several hours.

“It was like a bomb went off’,” one witness said. Two vehicles, a white GMC work van and a red Dodge Ram truck, collided on the two-lane highway, right where the speed limit changes from 55 to 45 miles an hour. Residents say no motorist ever slows down to 45 mph, which explains the high number of horrific accidents in the area.

Both drivers were killed on the spot, while a passenger in the Dodge was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
