According to authorities, the crash happened at approximately 6:04 AM on February 22, 2026. The troopers were heading back to the Flint Post after finishing their night shift. They were traveling eastbound on Corunna Road in a fully marked patrol vehicle when a maroon Chevy Trax, driving southbound on Linden Road, allegedly disregarded a red traffic signal.
The patrol vehicle struck the passenger side of the Trax. The force of the impact caused the Trax to then collide with a third vehicle, identified as a red Chevy Silverado.
Both troopers sustained minor injuries in the crash. Despite being hurt, they immediately rendered aid to the at-fault driver, who was suspected of Operating While Intoxicated.
The driver of the Silverado was not injured.
All three injured individuals were transported to a local hospital. The troopers were treated and later released. The suspected at-fault driver was also treated for minor injuries.
Members of the Third District Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit responded to conduct an independent investigation into the crash. Authorities say once the investigative reports are completed, criminal charges will be sought against the at-fault driver for suspected Operating While Intoxicated.
Troopers were assisted on scene by the Flint Township Police Department, Flint Township Fire Department, and MMR Ambulance Service.
