Driver trapped by tire after being ejected from vehicle

Deputies in Montcalm County are investigating after a rollover crash in Winfield Township. 

Passenger drives SUV off trapped woman

The woman, a resident of Alma, was driving westbound on Cutler Road east of Amble Road when she lost control of the 2006 Ford Escape and it overturned around 10:45 p.m. Saturday.
Investigators say that a Ford Escape driven by a 23-year-old Alma woman was westbound on Cutler Road east of Amble Road when she lost control, left the roadway, and the SUV rolled on Saturday night. She was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the SUV during the crash, and when the vehicle came to rest in an upright position, the woman's arm was trapped under one of the tires. A 24-year-old passenger, who was not injured in the crash, was able to drive the SUV off of the driver's arm, after which she was brought to the hospital. Alcohol may have been a factor. 

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.
