Multiple Injuries Reported in Serious Crashes Across U.S.

A series of serious vehicle crashes occurred across multiple states, resulting in injuries and substantial emergency response efforts. In Saginaw County, Michigan, crews extricated a trapped occupant from a wreck at Hanchett and Shattuck Roads; the extent of injuries remains undisclosed as authorities investigate the cause. In Marshall County, Iowa, a head-on collision between a car and a semi-truck on Highway 146 left both drivers injured, with one airlifted to a hospital after being mechanically extricated; investigators report the car crossed the center line, and the highway was closed for six hours. Calhoun County, Michigan, saw a wrong-way, alcohol-related crash on I-94 that injured two people and resulted in the arrest of the intoxicated pickup driver, shutting the highway's eastbound lanes for about an hour. In Bridgeport, West Virginia, two people were hospitalized after a two-vehicle crash on an I-79 ramp caused one vehicle to overturn, with the cause still under investigation. These incidents underscore the dangers of impaired driving, the challenges of rural and ramp roadways, and the critical importance of coordinated emergency response.
