8/2/13 - A Brighton man was killed and a Detroit woman critically injured in a head-on crash Thursday morning in Brighton Township. State Police from the Brighton Post were dispatched to the scene of the collision around 11:30 a.m. on Pleasant Valley Road, north of Buno Road. Trooper Mike Yenshaw says their preliminary investigation and witness statements indicate a red Honda Civic was southbound on Pleasant Valley when it crossed the centerline and hit a silver Chevy Volt, driven by a Fowlerville man. The driver of the Honda, a 55-year-old Brighton man, died at the scene, while his passenger, a 28-year-old Detroit woman, was flown by Survival Flight to the University of Michigan Medical Center with critical injuries. The Fowlerville man driving the Volt was taken by ambulance to U of M for treatment of his injuries, which were not thought to be life-threatening. The crash closed Pleasant Valley Road for several hours as police investigated the crash and crews cleaned up the scene. Itâs unknown if drugs or alcohol were factors. (JK)
