4/16/13 - A teen crashed a vehicle into a swamp last week and the Michigan State Police Brighton Post says a cell phone is to blame. Troopers were dispatched to the area of Victor Street and Whitmore Lake Road for a single vehicle crash involving a 16-year-old Brighton man driving a 1994 Lexus. Police say the teen was traveling east on Victor Street at around 7:45pm last Wednesday and attempting to drive while changing a song on his phone. Police say the teen failed to stay on the road, traveled over the right curb, crashed through a fence and then drove into a water-filled swamp area. No injuries were reported but police say the crash report indicates the driver was operating the vehicle in a careless/negligent manner. Troopers were assisted by the Green Oak Township Police Department and Livingston County EMS. (JM)
