Man injured in rollover crash, witness says driver appeared to be going 100 mph(link is external)

Jim Phillips said he lives a few houses away from where the 1998 Ford Explorer came to a rest in a wooded area 100 feet from the roadway on McCain Road just east of Robinson Road. He said he was in his driveway just before 1 p.m. April 9 when he saw the vehicle speed down the street.

A man was driving an SUV on McCain road traveling at around 100 mph in a 35 mph zone. When he approached a vehicle traveling at an appropriate speed, he slammed on his brakes and lost control of the vehicle, running off the street on the shoulder and rolling over at least twice. He was transported to a local hospital in unstable condition. It is unknown if he was wearing a seat belt. The accident is still under investigation.

What you need to know after a serious Michigan car accident

When someone has been seriously injured in a car accident, they are often faced with unexpected medical costs, lost wages and other losses. Injuries can be permanent and medical treatment may be extensive. In the days, weeks, and months following a car crash, injured people and their families often struggle to manage day-to-day life and can be overwhelmed.

After a serious or fatal collision, it is important to quickly get the information necessary to make good decisions and begin moving toward recovery. Getting appropriate medical treatment is just one aspect of healing. Getting assistance in handling the insurance claim that will begin financial recovery is another.

If the injuries are significant or if you have questions about what you should do, it is best to contact an experienced Michigan car accident attorney for a free, no-obligation consultation. Serious accidents are difficult to handle without the assistance of a lawyer who understands the process, knows how to negotiate with an insurance adjuster, and can obtain the highest possible settlement so that you can recover financially from the car accident.
