SPRING ARBOR TOWNSHIP, MI (WTVB) – A 72-year-old Ohio man was killed Monday afternoon in Spring Arbor Township after a semi-truck rear-ended his SUV at the intersection of M-60 and Spring Arbor Road.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, the victim was traveling westbound in a Subaru Outback when he was struck while approaching a traffic signal at approximately 12:45 p.m.
The driver was transported to Henry Ford Hospital with life-threatening injuries but later passed away, while his 71-year-old female passenger remains in stable condition.
The 36-year-old driver of the semi-truck, who was uninjured in the collision, was arrested at the scene and is currently held at the Jackson County Jail on charges of moving violation causing death.
