One woman killed, another critically injured in Superior Township crash

By Heidi Fenton

One woman was killed and another critically injured Monday after a single-vehicle crash in Superior Township.

According to Fire Capt. Ronald Smith, authorities responded at 2:46 p.m. on a report of a westbound car that had veered off Warren Road just west of Gotfredson Road and struck a tree.

A female passenger was pronounced dead at the scene, Smith said, and the female driver was extricated by fire crews and flown by helicopter to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.

Authorities are withholding the names of both the driver and passenger pending notification of the deceased woman’s family.

Smith said the accident remains under investigation and it was unclear what caused the car to leave the roadway.

Wait a minute! Everything on the page pales in comparison! Happy dog? Home for sale? Menopausal hot-flashes?!! Let's end this needless attention to the staff photos. Neither Kay, nor Eighty Seven extended condolences to this family .. such concern about appropriateness. Prayers to all those affected by this death and injury accident.

I am very sorry for this family's loss. I don't know, maybe all the annarbor.com staff could have two stock photos, one smiling and one in sackcloth and ashes. Major is right. If I were bothered by every little thing like that I'd never leave my house.
