Smash-up stalls M-24 traffic

Members of the Orion Township Fire Department worked to extricate a driver from a vehicle after a crash at the intersection of M-24 and Flint Street on April 25. The accident happened during the Tuesday morning rush-hour, after a Saturn turning left onto M-24 from Flint was struck by a Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck. The woman driving the Saturn was transported to Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital for treatment of serious head injuries, and the driver of the truck refused medical treatment at the scene. The accident brought traffic on north and southbound M-24 to a halt for much of the morning. Photo by Lisa Valentine.
