Dundee Twp., Monroe County – The Michigan State Police Monroe Post issued an update on their investigation into a crash that seriously injured an employee of Stevens Disposal, Donnie Cooper.
On September 15th, Troopers were dispatched to the car vs pedestrian crash on West Lloyd Rd.
The scene was processed by troopers and a traffic crash reconstructionist. The traffic reconstructionist concluded the vehicle that struck the Stevens Disposal employee was traveling at approximately 44 mph in a 55 mph zone.
The constructionist further indicated the exposure time for a walking or running pedestrian after appearing from behind the garbage truck is not enough for a driver to avoid the collision.
At this time, the Michigan State Police Monroe Post is not seeking charges against the driver, and will be forwarding this incident to the prosecutor’s office for their review and decision.
