Deputies investigated a three-vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon at Bray and Willard Roads in Arbela Township after a 17-year-old Gladwin girl stopped at the sign but failed to yield. Her SUV was struck by a 49-year-old Vassar man’s car, which then forced it into a vehicle driven by a 49-year-old Clio man. All three drivers were injured and a juvenile passenger in the SUV suffered serious injuries requiring medical transport. Officials arrested the teen on suspicion of operating while intoxicated and causing serious injury.

A late-night turn onto Jefferson Avenue in Macomb County turned deadly in Harrison Township when a white Cadillac SRX cut directly into the path of an oncoming Chevrolet Silverado towing a trailer. The westbound pickup truck, which had the right-of-way, smashed into the turning SUV before veering off the pavement and crashing into a roadside utility pole. Paramedics rushed the thirty-year-old Cadillac driver to a nearby hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead, while the twenty-eight-year-old Shelby Township man driving the Silverado survived and cooperated fully with investigating deputies.
