3/12/13 - A Flint man was killed yesterday when his car was crushed by a scrap hauler that overturned on US-23, just south of the Livingston County line. The southbound lanes of US-23 in Washtenaw County were closed between 6 Mile and North Territorial roads for several hours Monday afternoon following the fatal crash involving a tractor trailer and a car. State Police say a 58-year-old man from Flint was driving a 2010 PT Cruiser in the left lane next to the semi with a dual trailer hauling scrap metal. The truck blew a tire and the driver lost control of the rig, swerved into the left lane and struck the car. The rear trailer of the semi turned over and fell on top of the PT Cruiser, killing the man inside. Investigators donât believe alcohol played a role in the crash, which remains under investigation.
