Saginaw, MI - Tow Truck Strikes Chevy Traverse at Genesee & Michigan

Saginaw, MI (July 3, 2025) – An unusual crash occurred on July 2 when a tow truck at the scene of a previous accident struck a vehicle in Saginaw. The incident happened around 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of Genesee Avenue and Michigan Avenue. Local law enforcement and emergency responders arrived quickly to assist those involved. Initial reports indicate that at least one person was hurt in this second collision and received treatment at the scene before being taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.

Police reports indicate that the tow truck was responding to an earlier crash when it hit a blue Chevy Traverse in the area. Authorities are working to determine what led to the incident and whether any citations or further action will be taken. Traffic at the intersection was temporarily disrupted as crews worked to clear both the original accident and this new collision. Officers have asked anyone who witnessed what happened to share any information that could assist the ongoing investigation.

We hope those hurt in this crash make a timely and full recovery.

Car Accidents in Michigan

Across Michigan, crashes involving multiple vehicles and secondary collisions are more common than many realize. According to the Michigan State Police, drivers must remain alert not only during an initial incident but also when emergency crews and tow trucks are on the scene. These situations often result in unexpected injuries that can complicate recovery and insurance claims.

Here are a few things to know about crashes involving service vehicles:

• Secondary Accidents: Many collisions happen after the initial impact when drivers fail to slow down near an accident scene. Tow trucks and emergency responders are especially vulnerable when stopped on busy roads.
• Chain Reaction Injuries: Secondary crashes can make injuries worse for victims who are already shaken from the first collision. Whiplash, head injuries, and back injuries are common.
• Right to Compensation: Victims of tow truck or service vehicle crashes may be eligible for compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages. Working with an experienced car accident attorney can help ensure your rights are protected.
• Insurance Challenges: Dealing with multiple claims and parties can make the process more confusing. A skilled lawyer can handle negotiations and protect you from unfair settlements.
