Burlington Twp, MI (January 29, 2026) – A deadly collision early on Wednesday morning on M-60 in Calhoun County tragically claimed the life of a Union City man, according to Michigan State Police.
The incident occurred when a Jeep traveling eastbound on M-60 near 9 Mile Rd lost control for unknown reasons. Authorities report that the vehicle veered across the centerline and collided head-on with a semi truck heading westbound. The force of the impact caused catastrophic damage to the Jeep.
