Detroit, MI - Injury Accident at W Larned St & Griswold St

Detroit, MI (April 8, 2025) – A crash involving injuries took place in downtown Detroit late Monday morning, April 7, at the intersection of West Larned Street and Griswold Street.

The collision occurred just before noon, at approximately 11:59 a.m. Emergency teams, including police and medical responders, arrived shortly after the crash was reported. At least one person was hurt and received medical attention at the scene before being taken to a nearby hospital for additional care.

Authorities closed off portions of the roadway while responders assessed the situation and cleared the wreckage. The area remained backed up with traffic for a short period, but has since reopened. Investigators are working to determine what led to the collision and whether any traffic violations played a role.

We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.

Car Accidents in Michigan

In Michigan, car accidents are a daily reality. Data from recent years shows that more than 70,000 injury-causing crashes occur annually in the state. Whether in rural areas or busy downtown intersections, accidents can happen anywhere—and often with little warning.

Understanding the steps to take immediately after an accident can make a major difference. Here are a few important actions to consider:

• Seek Medical Attention Immediately: Even if injuries seem minor, it’s important to be examined by medical professionals. Some symptoms may be delayed or internal, and early documentation supports both your health and any future claims.
• Contact Law Enforcement: A formal police report creates an official record of the incident. This can be a valuable piece of evidence when dealing with insurance companies or legal proceedings.
• Take Photos and Collect Information: If safe to do so, gather photographs of vehicle damage, the crash site, and any visible injuries. Also, exchange insurance and contact details with the other driver and gather witness names if possible.
• Avoid Admitting Fault: Emotions can run high after a crash, but it’s best to avoid making any statements about who was at fault. Instead, stick to the facts when speaking with police or others at the scene.
• Notify Your Insurance Provider: Let your insurer know what happened, but be cautious about providing recorded statements without first consulting an attorney—especially if injuries are involved.
