Four hurt in two-vehicle crash
(SANILAC COUNTY) – Icy, snow-covered roads are partially being blamedfor a two-vehicle crash early Monday morning in Sanilac County’s Lamotte Township that sent four people to area hospitals.
According to the Sanilac County Sheriff Department, deputies were called to the scene on M-46, near Germania Road around 7:30 a.m.
Investigators say a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser, driven by a 62-yearold Applegate man, was traveling west on M-46 when he lost control on the icy roadway.
The vehicle entered the east bound lane and into the path of an eastbound 2007 Ford F150 driven by a 50-year-old Marlette man who was unable to avoid the crash.
Lamotte Township firefighters used their Jaws of Life to free the front seat passenger of the Chrysler PT Cruiser.
The 62-year-old driver of the PT Cruiser, an 81-year-old female front seat passenger from Applegate and a 59-year-old male rear seat passenger from Arizona were transported to McKenzie Health System for treatment of injuries.
The 59-year-old male passenger was later transferred to Hurley Medical Center in Flint.
