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.”

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.

Young was flown to a nearby hospital in critical condition but died a few days later due to complications from his injuries.

Two friends were arrested for OWI in Michigan after one drives to the scene to assist her friend.

Michigan – January 20, 2023

Two friends in Northern Michigan found out that showing up to support a friend does not always yield positive results when one was arrested during a traffic stop. According to troopers from the Michigan State Police Gaylord Post, a woman was stopped in Otsego County after police suspected her of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. She called her friend to help, and the friend arrived and was promptly arrested for OWI as they had been drinking together earlier. Alcohol and drug-related fatal crashes remain a significant traffic safety issue in Michigan, with approximately 44.7 percent of the total fatal crashes involving alcohol and drugs in 2021. Drunk driving is considered an illegal criminal act in Michigan and the consequences of a driving-related death due to operating while intoxicated can severely and negatively impact the negligent driver’s life no matter how the case turns out.
