YORK TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Four people were hospitalized when a wrong-way driver struck several cars in Monroe County and then four more cars in Washtenaw County.
Monroe County deputies said they learned of a wrong-way driver around 8 a.m. Tuesday, May 23, on U.S. 23 near Dundee.
The 38-year-old Plymouth man was driving a white 2008 Ford Edge when he struck “several vehicles” in Monroe County and continued to head north in the southbound lanes of U.S. 23.
Police said they didn’t chase him.
Milan Township police said they saw the driver still heading in the wrong direction near Willis Road in Washtenaw County. The Edge struck four other vehicles in that area, according to authorities.
Four people, including the wrong-way driver, were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.
Alcohol and/or drugs are believed to have been a factor.
Southbound U.S. 23 was shut down for 2-3 hours at the scene of the Washtenaw County crash.
