A fatal accident in Dexter Township

A driver died Nov. 10 after a single-vehicle crash in Dexter Township.

The Dexter Area Fire Department (DAFD), along with Huron Valley Ambulance (HVA) and the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO), responded to a single-vehicle accident on Dexter Pinckney Road near Bell Road at 1:19 a.m. this Sunday.

DAFD Fire Chief Doug Armstrong said the vehicle left the roadway and struck two trees. Armstrong said an iPhone “triggered an emergency call following the accident, initiating the emergency response.”

Armstrong said the driver was the only occupant and was found in the vehicle and unresponsive. He said resuscitation efforts were initiated at the scene by DAFD firefighters and HVA personnel and the patient was transported to the hospital and died in the emergency room at the University of Michigan Hospital.

The cause of the accident is under investigation by WCSO.
