A 24-year-old woman, Ringwelski, was involved in a near-fatal car crash on Old 51 Road, near Washington Township, Michigan, on April 30. Accident reports state that the woman narrowly escaped the accident.

Ringwelski was traveling northbound on Old 51 road when she spotted a deer and instantly swerved her car to avoid a collision with the animal. This instant movement caused the vehicle to leave the roadway and fall into a ditch close to Washington Road, where it also hit a culvert, after which it rolled over, before it stopped.

The crash victim was in her seatbelt when the crash happened. Her vehicle’s airbags were also deployed. She was immediately transported to McKenzie Hospital for treatment of her injuries. Reports from the police, however, stated that drugs or alcohol didn’t have any part to lay in the crash. At this moment, there is no further information concerning the accident.

Authorities say that the number of accidents caused by animals on roadways is on the rise. This is why patrol officers always tell motorists to drive carefully and always be vigilant while driving. Authorities also advise that drivers should look out for stray animals or animals that may be crossing the road while they are driving.

Accident reports also reveal that driving at high speeds is also a factor in accidents involving animals because overspeeding drivers find it hard to apply their brakes in time after sighting animals on the road. Drivers must be careful, be attentive to road signs, and also maintain caution on the roadway.
