1 Killed, 5 Injured in Isabella County Car Accident
The collision took place in the early evening near the corner of E. Coe Road and S. East County Line Road in Coe Township.
One person was killed and five others were injured in a two-vehicle car crash on E. Coe Road in Isabella County on November 11, according to the Michigan State Police.
How the E. Coe Road Crash Unfolded
The crash happened at about 5:30 p.m. near where E. Coe Road meets S. East County Line Road in Coe Township. Troopers said a 2023 Hyundai Kona driven by a 22-year-old man was heading west on E. Coe Road when a 2021 Chrysler Voyager struck it, and the Hyundai overturned. A two-year-old girl from Alma, a passenger in the Hyundai, was taken to a hospital and died there. Three other people in the Hyundai, including its driver, went to a hospital with serious injuries that were not life-threatening. A 38-year-old woman from the Village of Shepherd was driving the Chrysler, and both she and her passenger were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
What the Michigan State Police Are Reviewing
The Michigan State Police Mount Pleasant Post is investigating, and the crash remains under investigation. Police said drugs and alcohol do not appear to have played a part. Police said one of the drivers may have failed to obey a stop sign. Police said seat belts and child safety seats were in use. Crews from the Shepherd Fire Department, the Tribal Fire Department, Mobile Medical Response and Isabella County Central Dispatch also helped at the scene.
Roads are often closed for hours after a serious crash so investigators can measure and photograph the scene before anything is moved.
