The collision caused the pickup truck to veer into northbound traffic, striking a 2021 Chevy Blazer driven by a 44-year-old Brownstown man head-on.

Brownstown police, fire, and EMS units responded to the scene on Telegraph Road south of Van Horn Road, where they administered extrication and life-saving measures and called for a Medivac Helicopter from the University of Michigan Medical Center, officials say.

The pickup truck driver was transported to Beaumont Trenton Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. The driver of the Chevy Blazer was air-lifted by U-M helicopter to Henry Ford Main, where he is listed in stable condition. The driver of the Chevy Cruz and his 87-year-old passenger did not report any injuries.

Alcohol does not appear to be a factor.
