Palmyra Twp., MI – A 76-year-old Tecumseh woman died from injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash on US-223 at Humphrey Highway Wednesday afternoon.
The Michigan State Police Monroe Post said Thursday morning that the Troopers were dispatched to the crash at around 3:39pm. Preliminary on-scene investigation revealed that a silver Ford Focus was turning north on Humphrey Hwy, from US-223 Hwy, when it was struck by a maroon Ford Expedition, which was traveling westbound on US-223 Hwy.
The driver of the Ford Focus, an 82-year-old male from Tecumseh, along with his passenger, a 76-year-old female from Tecumseh, (husband and wife) sustained serious injuries and were transported to ProMedica Toledo hospital. The 76-year-old female passenger succumbed to her injuries at the hospital. The driver of the Ford Expedition, a 58-year-old male from Palmyra, did not sustain any significant injuries and was treated on scene.
West US-223 Hwy. near Humphrey Hwy. was shut down for several hours while troopers conducted an on-scene investigation of the crash. Neither alcohol nor excessive speed appear to be factors in the crash.
