Cannon Township, MI (December 6, 2023) - Two children were hurt Wednesday morning when their preschool bus collided with another car and rolled at a Cannon Township intersection.
According to the Kent County Sheriff's Office, the crash happened at 5 Mile Road and Pettis Avenue, with the bus traveling with the right of way. The bus belongs to Big Steps Little Feet, a Christian early learning and nature preschool in Ada, and carried 12 children and two adults, including the bus driver. After the crash, two children and one adult were taken to the hospital for further treatment. The other driver, who drove a sedan, was also hurt but not "badly," according to local officers. An investigation is still active, and no further details were released.
Our thoughts go out to the injured victims and their loved ones. We hope for their full recovery.
Thousands of people use Michigan's bustling, multi-lane roadways daily to go to and from work, especially in large cities like Detroit and Lansing. Thus, it should come as no surprise that some of the most congested and hazardous regions in the Great Lakes State may be found on Interstate 75 between Interstate 96 and the intersection with Interstate 94, on Interstate 94 between Vining Road and Telegraph Road, and on Interstate 7 Mile Road.
While speeds of up to 75 mph are legal in Michigan, the vast majority of the state's roadways have 65 mph or 55 mph restrictions posted. In addition, when accidents occur at these greater speeds, everyone involved is far more likely to suffer serious injuries or perhaps die.
It's no secret that the Detroit region has a high rate of serious injuries caused by car crashes. However common automobile accidents may be, those who are injured often face a difficult situation after the fact due to factors including high medical bills, lost wages from time spent recovering, and other costs.
When drivers are at fault for an accident due to their own carelessness, they will frequently attempt to shift the responsibility onto the victims. The at-fault driver's insurance company may attempt to minimize your injuries or give you inadequate compensation.
If you were hurt on a U.S. road due to another driver's carelessness, you should be compensated fairly and equitably. An experienced personal injury attorney in Detroit will take care of the following for you if you choose them:
