A two-vehicle crash on Ann Arbor Road in Milan turned out less severe than originally thought.

At about noon, a garbage-hauling semi truck and a black Volkswagen Jetta were headed north on Ann Arbor Road near Day Road when the truck's driver attempted to pass the Jetta as it was turning left into Trimac trucking. The semi truck was hauling about 50 tons of garbage at the time, said a Monroe County Sheriff's deputy on the scene.

Originally, officers on the scene thought the crash was so severe that they called for an extraction team and for a helicopter from the University of Michigan Hospital's Survival Flight team. They later canceled that call and sent regular ambulances instead.

While the sheriff's deputy declined to give the names or the condition of the victims, who were sent to local hospitals after the crash, he did say that Ann Arbor Road would have been closed off in the event of life-threatening injuries or a fatality. Sheriff's deputies declined to name the hospital where the drivers were sent.

Within a half an hour of the accident, traffic was moving in both directions on Ann Arbor Road, with a sheriff's deputy directing traffic as a tow truck from Mike's Garage attempted to move the semi from the shoulder on the east side of the road.
