11/13/13 - A Brighton man remains in serious condition after the car he was driving went out of control and crashed Saturday morning. The accident occurred at about 3am on Brighton Road, east of Bauer Road in Genoa Township. Livingston County Sheriff Bob Bezotte says 24-year-old Thomas Orndorf was headed east on Brighton Road at a high rate of speed when his vehicle left the roadway and hit several trees. Orndorf was trapped in his car and had to be extracted by firefighters from Brighton. The car was totaled. Orndorf was transported by helicopter to the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor for treatment of life-threatening injuries, and as of Tuesday he was still listed in serious condition. A blood alcohol test will be taken to determine whether drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash, which remains under investigation. Orndorf was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident.
