4/14/13 - Police are investigating a single vehicle crash that killed a 43-year-old Howell man Sunday afternoon. State Police say the victim was the only person in the two-seat sedan, which witnesses said was westbound on M-59 when he turned onto the ramp for northbound US-23. They say he stopped on the ramp for several moments, then quickly accelerated onto the freeway. He quickly lost control of the vehicle, which crashed into the median fence and sustained heavy damage. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say it is not clear why the man behaved the way he did, and a medical cause is possible. No other vehicles were damaged in the crash. Traffic on US-23 in both directions was significantly slowed while crews worked to handle the scene. (TD/JK)
