TAYLOR, Mich. – A 32-year-old woman was killed after driving the wrong way down Telegraph Road in Taylor, crashing into another vehicle.
Police said the crash happened on early Sunday morning, calling it one of the worst crashes they’ve ever seen.
A 32-year-old woman, a mother of a four-year-old, entered Telegraph Road driving southbound on the northbound side, according to a 911 caller. Drivers were honking at the woman, trying to get her to stop, according to police.
She crashed into a 40-year-old man driving a truck on his way to work. The woman died on the scene. The 40-year-old man was transported to a local hospital and was listed in serious condition.
