Flint Twp., MI (March 9, 2024) – On March 8, emergency officials in Genesee County were called to the scene of a motor vehicle accident that occurred in Flint Township. At approximately 9:50 a.m., an automobile accident occurred on West Bristol Road just south of the intersection with Van Slyke Road.

Firefighters and police rushed to the scene to assist. Following the collision, those affected were subsequently taken to local hospitals for additional medical treatment. The area underwent a temporary closure while emergency crews were on-site. Tow trucks were dispatched later to clear the site of the resulting wreckage and other debris.

We hope the injured victims recover quickly.

Car Accidents in Michigan

In 2022, more than 293,000 automobile accidents were reported in Michigan. These accidents sent tens of thousands of people to area hospitals for emergency care. The unfortunate truth is that we often see people harmed in accidents that are completely preventable. Some of the actions that commonly lead to automobile collisions across our state include:

Mechanical failure: Malfunctioning parts, such as faulty brakes, tires, or engines, can create a dangerous situation on the road. Whether it's due to manufacturing defects, improper maintenance, or damage resulting from a collision, mechanical failure can result in a loss of control or unexpected behavior of the vehicle.
Tailgating: Drivers who fail to maintain a safe distance between their vehicle and the one in front of them may not have enough time to react to unexpected events on the road. Tailgating increases the risk of rear-end collisions, which can be particularly severe at high speeds.
Inexperienced drivers: Novice drivers, especially those under age 25, lack the necessary skills and experience to handle unexpected situations on the road. They may struggle to maintain control during challenging driving conditions, leading to accidents.
