Sandusky, MI (December 21, 2021) – The Walmart parking lot in Sandusky was the scene of an injury accident that left two people hurt on Sunday, December 19. The wreck was reported to police at approximately 11:30 a.m. 

Sources say the incident occurred when a 61-year-old man from Marlette was driving his 2011 Ford F-150 in the parking lot at approximately 11:20. He reportedly slammed into a vehicle parked in a row of the parking lot, causing a chain reaction that damaged 7 other cars. 

A 56-year-old Melvin man was loading groceries into his vehicle at the time of the wreck and was injured due to the collision. He was transported to McKenzie Memorial Hospital to be treated for his injuries, which are unspecified at this time. 

The 61-year-old man who caused the accident also sustained injuries. He was taken to an area medical center for treatment after the wreck occurred. 

Investigators are still working to determine what caused the collision. The incident will be reported to the Sanilac County Prosecutor’s Office to be reviewed for potential criminal charges. 

Our thoughts are with everyone involved. We hope for their full recovery. 

Michigan Car Crashes

Sandusky, MI - Two Hurt in Parking Lot Crash at Walmart

Michigan car accidents happen all too often. On average, the state sees more than 300,000 car crashes per year. Approximately 75,000 people are injured in these accidents and over 1,000 lose their lives each year. This year, 2021, 1,083 people were killed due to car crashes in Michigan.

Sustaining injuries in an auto accident can be an overwhelming and frightening experience. Not only are victims faced with painful and sometimes debilitating injuries, those injuries often require extensive and costly medical care that can last for days, weeks, or months. This can take up a lot of time and energy, not to mention money. 

Sometimes emergency surgery is required depending on the severity of the injuries that result from an accident. These circumstances are not only physically and emotionally difficult to deal with, they can also drain a person’s bank account quickly, leaving them with little to no financial resources to get back on their feet. A car crash lawyer in Michigan may be able to help you if you find yourself stuck in a situation of this nature. 

Sandusky Auto Accident Attorneys

In the unfortunate event that you or a loved one of yours has recently sustained injuries in an auto accident in Ferndale, a Sandusky personal injury lawyer may be able to help you recover in more ways than one. The team of lawyers at the Michigan Legal Center is dedicated to helping injured crash victims get the financial compensation they deserve after being hurt by the negligent actions of other drivers. 

Sadly, most of the accidents in Michigan are caused by driver error. These types of accidents are usually instances where a driver acts carelessly or thoughtlessly. With drivers being more distracted than ever, this has become a serious and deadly problem in Michigan and across the United States. If you were recently injured as a passenger in a vehicle driven by a negligent driver, you may be eligible to collect financial compensation for your injuries and losses. Sustaining injuries in a crash with a separate vehicle driven by a negligent driver also means that you may be able to receive financial compensation. 

Any instance where a driver acted recklessly, carelessly, or negligently, and caused another person’s injuries, is grounds for an injured victim to receive compensation for damages they may have endured. Some damages that often result from sustaining injuries in a traffic collision caused by negligence include medical costs, mental health bills, lost wages, loss of consortium, pain and suffering, and more.
