A serious Michigan car accident was reported in the paper today. The accident, which occurred on I-94 near 26 Mile Road in Chesterfield Township, Michigan occurred early Saturday morning, A man from New York died in the accident after he lost control of his Ford Escort and crashed through the freeway median. He then hit a tractor-trailer truck traveling eastbound. The truck then flipped and was struck by two other vehicles.

The truck flipped on its side and slid into and through the median, blocking westbound traffic. Two vehicles driving westbound then struck the vehicle. The other drivers were all taken to the hospital, but fortunately only appear to have minor injuries. Police are still investigating but do not believe that alcohol was a factor.

All of the accident victims can file claims for Michigan N-Fault insurance benefits for their medical bills. If any have serious injuries, they can file a suit against the estate of the New York driver for negligence. Based upon early reports, it does not appear that the family of the New York man can file a Michigan Wrongful Death suit because seems to have been at fault in the accident.
