There was a tragic story in the paper today about a fatal Detroit drunk driving accident that happened Friday evening, November 13th. According to the Detroit Police, a 12 year-old boy was killed and his mother and sister were seriously injured when an alleged drunk driver hit their car at the intersection of Fort and Dearborn.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and offer the family of the deceased boy my most sincere condolences and best wishes. I hope that his mother and sister have a complete recovery without any permanent deficits.

A report in today’s Detroit Free Press listed the Detroit areas eight highest car accident areas.  The number of accidents in these areas is primarily due to high traffic volume, which undoubtedly leads to more car accidents.  It is hopeful that these county road commissions can implement more safety measures, like the number of traffic signals, to reduce the number of car accidents.

In Wayne County, the highest car accident areas are:

*Livonia and Northville, between 6 Mile and Fox Drive off of Haggerty.  This has been a high volume traffic area for many years due to schools and businesses in the corridor.

In Oakland County, the location for the most car accidents are:

*In Waterford, the area on M-59 between Airport Road and Dundee Road due to high traffic.  New traffic signals have been put in to help reduce the number of car accidents.

*In Novi, westbound I-96 at Novie Road and the Novi Road exti ramp has had a high number of car accidents.

In Macomb County, the highest number of car accidents occur at:

*In Clinton Township, on Garfield Road between 19 Mile and Hall Road there are two places that have a high rate of car accidents.

*On Mound Road, between 11 Mile and 12 Mile Road, there are a high number of car accidents because this is a busy area with numerous businesses.

I read a story in the Detroit Free Press today about a fatal Redford Township four car accident that occurred on October 12th at the intersection of Beech Daly and Plymouth Road. According to Redford Township Police, a 48-year old Redford Township woman, traveling east on Plymouth in a 1998 Ford Taurus, allegedly sped through a red light at the intersection, hit two vehicles and caused a fourth vehicle to crash. The woman died on the scene. Two drivers were taken to local hospitals with serious injuries and the fourth driver was unharmed. Police are still investigating this accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this accident and hope that the injured drivers enjoy a full and complete recovery. My condolences to the family of the woman that died in the accident.
