Friday afternoon traffic through the Fenton area last week came to a standstill for a couple of hours as crews cleared a crash involving a camper trailer.
Fenton Fire Chief Bob Cairnduff said the fire department responded to northbound U.S. 23 near White Lake Road in Tyrone Township, Livingston County at 3:10 p.m. for a single vehicle crash. A pickup truck pulling a camper trailer rolled off the road into the median, destroying the camper and truck. Debris was scattered from the crash.
A family from Kentucky was in the truck. The female driver was injured. She had serious injuries to her left hand and arm. Livingston County Ambulance transported her and the other two occupants, who were not injured, to Hurley Medical Center in Flint.
The fire department shut down the freeway to allow Woody’s Towing to use heavy equipment to clean up the debris from the camper. They also had to haul away two four-wheelers and two motorcycles that were in the rear of the camper.
Once the scene was cleared of some of the debris, one lane was reopened to traffic. At 5:30 p.m., both lanes were reopened.
The fire department assisted Michigan State Police with shutting down northbound U.S. 23 at Center Road, as well.
