Howell man injured in crash

A 21-year-old Howell man was in critical condition in a local hospital Monday after his car collided with another vehicle, spun off the road and hit the side of a day care in Genoa Township.

Adults and children were inside the School Bell Teaching and Leaning Center on Grand River Avenue at 11:30 a.m. when the crash occurred, but nobody was hurt, Michigan State Police said.

"We didn't know anything had happened,'' said Linda Church, a teaching assistant.

The 2006 Chevrolet Malibu spun across the street, over a plastic fence and struck the building near an entryway, but did not penetrate the exterior wall.

The driver suffered serious injuries and was taken by Survival Flight to the University of Michigan Hospital, State Police said.

A preliminary State Police investigation showed the man did not see an oncoming vehicle as he tried to turn left from Pless Drive onto the eastbound side of Grand River Avenue. Before he could complete the turn, his car was struck by a 2002 GMC Envoy traveling west on the inside lane of Grand River Avenue. A third car, which was not hit, was turning right from Grand River Avenue onto Pless Drive at the time.

The driver of the Envoy, a 44-year-old Howell man, was taken by Livingston County EMS to the U-M Hospital. He was listed in good condition on Monday afternoon, police said.

The crash is still being investigated.
