Car hits building in Summit Township, leaves driver with minor injuries ... - MLive.com
, MI – A 77-year-old woman sped across four lanes of traffic, a parking lot and drove through a fence before crashing into a building Wednesday night on Horton Road, police said. Jackson County sheriff Deputy Don Cherry said the woman suffered minor injuries in the crash that occurred just before 5 p. m. Sept. 2 in the 1900 block of Horton Road near Badgley Road. The driver refused medical treatment at the scene and told investigators she had been turning left out of Kelly Express Mart, 1825 Horton Road, when she lost control of her Buick Enclave, he said. Max Iseler, 21, and Austin Dunn, 18, said they were in the parking lot of Key Largo Lounge when they heard tires squealing and saw the woman's vehicle whip out of the gas station and across the road. Iseler said the vehicle then narrowly missed a parked car, tore down a fence separating the parking lot from an adjacent property and crashed into an empty commercial building. "She missed all traffic somehow," Iseler said. Summit Township fire Lt. Aaron Osburn said his department also responded to the scene because of concerns regarding the structural integrity of the damaged building but he added most of the damage appeared to be superficial.
