The 28-year-old Iosco Township woman driving an off-road vehicle that struck a dog on Pingree Road remains in critical condition in a medically induced coma at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor. The dog she struck was euthanized.
The crash occurred at about 12:26 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9, 2020, when deputies with the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to Pingree Road north of Schafer Road in Iosco Township for a personal injury crash involving an off-road vehicle.
According to a release from the Sheriff’s Office, the preliminary investigation showed that a 28-year-old Iosco Township woman was operating a 2001 Honda 250 EX four-wheeler southbound on Pingree Road when it struck a dog. The driver lost control of the four-wheeler and was ejected.
Pingree Road was closed for approximately two hours while deputies investigated.
Deputies were assisted at the scene by Livingston County Ambulance and the Howell Area Fire Department.
The driver was not wearing a helmet. Speed appears to a factor while alcohol does not appear to be a factor.
This crash remains under investigation by the Livingston County Major Crash Team.
