Alaiedon Township, MI (August 25, 2026) – Two men were killed on Monday afternoon, August 24, in a three-vehicle crash at Holt Road and Every Road in Alaiedon Township.
Investigators said a northbound vehicle on Every Road struck an eastbound vehicle on Holt Road. The eastbound vehicle then collided with a third vehicle traveling west on Holt Road.
The 59-year-old driver of the eastbound vehicle and the 42-year-old driver of the westbound vehicle both died at the scene. The available report also indicated that a third person was injured, but additional details about that person’s condition were not provided.
The intersection was closed while investigators examined the scene and later reopened.
Investigators continue reviewing the cause of the crash. We extend our sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of the two men who died, and we hope the injured person recovers fully.
How Vehicle Redirection Can Worsen Crash Outcomes
In a three-vehicle collision, the first impact can redirect one vehicle into the path of another. This can expose occupants to separate forces from different directions within only a few seconds.
Secondary impacts may be especially severe when vehicles are traveling through an intersection from opposing or crossing directions. Occupants can experience sudden deceleration, side forces, and cabin intrusion.
Travel speed, impact angle, vehicle size, seating position, and the sequence of collisions can all affect injury severity. Multi-vehicle crashes can produce very different outcomes for each person involved, depending on where and how each vehicle is struck.
