On Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022, at approximately 10:30 a.m., deputies with the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to an overturned semi-tractor trailer on the entrance ramp to eastbound I-96 from Pinckney Road (D-19) in Marion Township.

The preliminary investigation has revealed that a 48-year-old Commerce Township man was turning left from Pinckney Road to enter I-96 east. The driver took the turn too fast, causing the trailer to overturn, which also took the 2006 Volvo semi-tractor with it.

The driver was wearing his safety belt and was not injured in the crash. The entrance ramp was closed for approximately 4 hours while the semi-tractor trailer was uprighted and removed.

Deputies were assisted on scene by  The Michigan State Police, The Howell Area Fire Department and the Michigan Department of Transportation.
