Warren, MI – Injuries Reported in Crash at 13 Mile Rd & Heritage Pkwy

Warren, MI (May 13, 2025) – Emergency crews were called to the scene of an injury crash Saturday afternoon at a busy intersection in Warren.

The collision occurred just after 12:00 p.m. on May 10 at the intersection of 13 Mile Road and Heritage Parkway. First responders, including police, fire crews, and EMS, arrived on the scene to find that at least one person had been hurt in the crash. Medical personnel provided treatment on-site before transporting the injured individual to a local hospital for further care.

Authorities worked to investigate the scene and redirect traffic while the vehicles were cleared from the roadway. The intersection remained partially blocked for some time but has since reopened. The exact cause of the crash and the total number of people involved remain under investigation.

We hope the person injured in this crash heals quickly and fully.

Car Accidents in Michigan

Vehicle collisions are one of the leading causes of injury across Michigan, especially in urban areas like Warren. In 2023 alone, Michigan saw over 290,000 reported accidents, with more than 50,000 of those resulting in injuries. Intersections, where multiple traffic directions converge, are among the most common sites for these types of accidents.

Let’s take a closer look at the role intersections play in traffic collisions and why they can be so dangerous:

• High Volume of Vehicles Crossing Paths: Intersections see a constant mix of turning, merging, and stopping traffic. Even minor distractions or timing errors can lead to serious collisions, particularly when drivers misjudge the speed of oncoming vehicles.
• Failure to Yield or Obey Signals: Many intersection accidents occur when drivers ignore traffic lights, signs, or right-of-way rules. This includes running red lights, turning without checking for pedestrians, or assuming another driver will stop.
• Reduced Visibility: Tall vehicles, landscaping, or poorly placed signage can block a driver’s view at intersections. Limited visibility makes it harder to spot oncoming cars, cyclists, or pedestrians, increasing the chances of a crash.
• Pedestrian and Bicycle Traffic: Intersections are shared spaces not just for vehicles but for people walking or biking. When drivers fail to yield or watch for vulnerable road users, the results can be particularly harmful.
• Impatience and Aggressive Maneuvers: Drivers in a hurry may speed through yellow lights or make sudden lane changes near intersections. These risky actions often catch other motorists off guard and result in collisions.
