Early Thursday morning, an innocent driver was killed near the Warren-Detroit border after his vehicle was struck by a driver who ran a red light during a police pursuit. Now, an innocent family is left grieving and looking for answers about how this happened.
What Happened Near 8 Mile and Schoenherr
Warren police say officers tried to stop a Dodge Ram near Fairfield and Georgiana streets around 2 a.m. Thursday after seeing several occupants in ski masks. The driver refused to stop and ran a red light at 8 Mile and Schoenherr, striking another vehicle.
The driver of that vehicle, a 48-year-old Detroit man, was rushed to a hospital and pronounced dead. He had no connection to the chase, and reporters have described him as a driver struck by the fleeing vehicle. Four juveniles were arrested after fleeing the scene on foot, while a fifth person remained at large. Investigators believe the group may be tied to a string of vehicle thefts in the area.
An Innocent Driver Should Never Pay for Someone Else’s Choices
What happened near 8 Mile is every Michigan driver’s worst fear, and it happens far too often. A speeding, distracted, drunk, or fleeing driver can turn an ordinary commute into a tragedy in seconds. The person who did nothing wrong should not have to pay the price.
Accountability can reach beyond the driver. A vehicle’s owner, an employer, or the way a dangerous situation was handled can each matter to your case. You will not get those answers from the party that caused the harm, or from an insurance company set on paying as little as possible. You get them by putting a powerful advocate on your side.
