Clam Lake Township, MI (August 28, 2026) – A 36-year-old Inkster man lost his life on Wednesday afternoon in a three-vehicle crash on M-115 near South 47 Road in Wexford County. The collision happened around 1:50 p.m. on August 26.
Michigan State Police said the man was driving a box truck west on M-115 when a Hyundai Santa Fe traveling north on South 47 Road struck it. A 19-year-old woman from LeRoy was driving the Santa Fe. The impact caused the box truck to spin and overturn onto its side.
A pickup truck traveling east on M-115 then struck the cab of the overturned box truck. The available report did not provide additional details about the other drivers or whether anyone else was injured.
We extend our sincere condolences to the victim’s family and loved ones.
What Can Happen in a Three-Vehicle Crash?
Three-vehicle crashes can involve multiple points of impact as vehicles move through an intersection or along a highway. An initial collision can also cause one vehicle to rotate, overturn, or move into the path of another vehicle.
Commercial vehicles such as box trucks have larger and heavier structures than passenger cars. A collision involving a commercial vehicle can therefore produce substantial forces and create additional hazards for nearby motorists.
Drivers approaching intersections should watch for traffic entering from different directions and follow posted signs and signals. Maintaining a safe speed and leaving enough space to react can help reduce the risk of additional impacts.
