Raisinville Twp, MI – One Killed, Two Injured in Head-On Crash on M-50 Near Strasburg Rd

May 14, 2025

Raisinville Twp, MI (May 14, 2025) – A deadly head-on collision Tuesday afternoon claimed the life of one driver and left two others seriously injured on M-50 (South Custer Rd), just east of Strasburg Rd in Monroe County. The crash, which occurred around 2:48 p.m. on May 13, prompted a full-scale emergency response and temporarily shut down a major stretch of the highway for several hours.

According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, 28-year-old Hunter Alexander Boyd of Tecumseh was driving a 2015 Ford Focus eastbound when, for unknown reasons, his vehicle crossed the center line and entered oncoming traffic. The Ford collided head-on with a westbound 2024 Toyota Sienna, driven by 50-year-old Norma Jean Hacker of Brooklyn.

Boyd was pronounced dead at the scene due to the severity of the impact.

Hacker and her passenger, 25-year-old Gwenyth Kamerielle Ebbert, also of Brooklyn, sustained serious injuries. Both were transported to Toledo ProMedica Hospital, where Hacker was listed in serious condition and Ebbert in critical condition as of the latest update.

The Monroe Township Fire Department, Ida Township Fire Department, Monroe Community Ambulance, and members of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Chaplain and Victim Services programs all responded to the scene.

The Michigan Department of Transportation closed both directions of M-50 between Franklin Blvd and Plum Grove Dr at 3:05 p.m. The road remained closed for nearly five hours, reopening around 7:50 p.m. Traffic was significantly impacted in the area, with many motorists rerouting to Dunbar Rd, which was also congested due to a household hazardous materials drop-off event at Monroe Township Hall.

Our thoughts are with the family of Hunter Boyd and with the two injured women as they face recovery in the days ahead.

Head-On Collisions in Michigan’s Rural Roadways

Crashes like the one on M-50 illustrate the dangers posed by rural and semi-rural highways in Michigan, especially those with two-lane configurations and minimal separation between opposing traffic. Head-on collisions, though less common than other types of crashes, are among the most fatal due to the high energy involved in frontal impact.

Monroe County’s M-50 corridor is a heavily traveled connector between smaller communities and regional hubs. Factors such as distraction, fatigue, or sudden medical events can all contribute to a driver crossing the center line—as seen in this case, where investigators have yet to determine why Boyd’s vehicle veered into oncoming traffic.

The severity of these collisions often leaves little time for the opposing driver to react, leading to devastating consequences. Survivors, like Hacker and Ebbert, frequently face long and difficult recoveries, including hospital stays, rehabilitation, and emotional trauma.

Local responders, including fire departments and victim support teams, play a critical role in both the immediate aftermath and long-term community healing following such incidents.

When families are faced with the loss of a loved one or serious injury from a crash, having access to resources, guidance, and compassionate support is essential.
