Ridgeway, MI - Man Critically injured in Two-Car Accident at Ridge Hwy and M-50

Ridgeway, MI (November 25, 2021) - A man from Tecumseh was critically injured during a two-vehicle collision in Ridgeway Township on Wednesday, November 24th.

At about 2:20 p.m., Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office Deputies responded to the scene at the intersection of State Highway 50 and Ridge Highway.  

According to sources, a 2019 Chevy pick-up truck was heading northbound on Ridge Highway nearing the intersection of State Highway 50 when two vehicles entered the intersection simultaneously. 

The driver of one vehicle, a 30-year-old female from Milan, said that her traffic light was green. The other involved vehicle was a 2010 Mazda going eastbound on State Highway 50, driven by a 38-year-old male from Tecumseh.

The Chevy struck the passenger side of the Mazda, causing it to continue, uncontrolled, through the intersection and crashing into a house on the northeast corner of the intersection. 

The driver of the Mazda sustained critical injuries and was taken by ambulance to the University of Michigan Hospital. 

The driver of the truck sustained non-critical injuries. 

No one in the house was injured.

The crash is being investigated by the Lenawee County Accident  Investigation Team to determine if the driver of the Mazda had on a seatbelt and if alcohol or speed was a factor in the crash.

The Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Lenawee County Accident Investigation Team, Ridgeway Fire Department, and LCA.

Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.

Injury Accidents in Michigan

Anybody who has endured a serious car accident understands just how frightening and upsetting it can be, especially if you or a family member was seriously injured. It only takes a split-second for an accident to happen, but the consequences affect some victims for the rest of their lives. 

Sadly, insurance adjustors frequently put pressure on victims to make ill-advised decisions that will negatively impact their financial, physical, and emotional well-being.

Recovering the financial compensation and benefits you are entitled to is a long and complicated process. An experienced car accident lawyer can help you navigate the intricacies of the legal system so that you are able to focus on your recovery. 

Additionally, recent studies have shown that personal injury victims who have the assistance of a reputable car accident attorney see better financial results than those who represent themselves.
