DEARBORN — One person died and another injured Dec. 29 after the sedan they were in was sideswiped by a truck and another sedan, and rolled over on Ford Road near Maple.
Investigators determined that a Buick sedan, driven by a 19-year-old Dearborn man, was traveling east on Ford Road about 7 p.m. when it was sideswiped by a semi-trailer truck and a Toyota sedan before rolling onto its roof.
The 19-year-old was taken to an area hospital where he later died of his injuries. The passenger of the Buick sustained minor injuries and was later released from the hospital.
The truck driver was not injured. The driver of the Toyota sustained a minor injury and was later released from a hospital. No other occupants of the Toyota were injured.
