ANN ARBOR (WWJ) — A teenager is dead and two others are injured after a single-vehicle crash in Ann Arbor early Sunday morning.
Police believe alcohol played a role in the crash, which happened shortly before 5 a.m. on June 9, killing an 18-year-old Taylor man.
The Ann Arbor Police Department responded to the crash on Jackson Avenue near Gralake Avenue after getting a crash notification from an iPhone. Newer iPhones and Apple Watches offer a feature that automatically sends an emergency SOS if a crash is detected and the user doesn't respond to the notification.
When an officer got to the scene they found a single car had hit multiple trees after going off the road as it entered the curve near Gralake, according to Ann Arbor police.
The 18-year-old Taylor man, a passenger in the car, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 19-year-old Detroit man riding in the car was taken to University of Michigan Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition Saturday afternoon.
The driver, a 19-year-old male from Ecorse, was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Police officials say alcohol is being investigated as a contributing factor of the crash.
The driver, whose name has not been released, will be lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail once he is released from the hospital.
The Ann Arbor Fire Department and Huron Valley Ambulance also responded to the scene.
No other details regarding the crash have been released.
