COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – A portion of U.S. 12 on Coldwater’s east side was shut down for an hour-and-a-half yesterday after an elderly Coldwater man was seriously injured when his car collided with a semi-tractor trailer. The accident occurred shortly before noon in front of the Walmart Super Center.
Coldwater City Police said the 91-year old driver of a Ford Focus was alone in his vehicle when he attempted to turn west from Anderson Drive onto U.S. 12 and crashed into the trailer of the westbound semi. The car driver, whose name has not been released, was flown from the scene by Air-Care helicopter to Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo for treatment. There’s no word on his condition.
U.S. 12 was closed from Michigan Avenue to Fiske Road during the accident investigation.
