DELHI TWP. — The driver of a semitruck who crashed and closed down southbound U.S. 127 Monday afternoon was cited, the Michigan State Police said.
The MSP First District Post shared video and photos of the crash on X Tuesday afternoon. In the video, the double trailer gravel truck can be seen driving in a single-lane area through a construction zone and then striking a parked vehicle.
One person in the parked truck suffered minor injuries, MSP said.
At about 12:30 p.m. Monday, the truck driver left the road, over-corrected and lost control of his rig, the MSP said in the online post.
The second trailer fishtailed, striking a stationary truck with two road workers inside. The driver of semitruck was cited for careless driving in a construction zone.
“(This is a) Reminder of the importance of slowing down and paying attention in the construction zones. This crash could have turned out a lot worse,” MSP said.
MDOT on Monday said the highway was closed from about 1 p.m. to 4:36 p.m. near Exit 73/Dunckel Road.
