A Clinton County man collapsed and died after crashing his vehicle off Interstate 96 between Howell and Brighton on Christmas Day, one of multiple road runoffs and other accidents that happened on slick roadways over the holiday weekend.
Personnel at the Brighton post of the Michigan State police said 70-year-old William E. Cramer may have had a medical emergency and lost control of his 2008 Honda while driving on I-96 near Dorr Road in Genoa Township.
Trooper Christopher Grace arrived at the accident scene at 8:37 a.m. Friday and found the motorist’s vehicle in a ditch area, police said. The motorist exited his vehicle and told Grace he needed help, then collapsed, police said.
Police said Grace advised Livingston County 911 Central Dispatch of the medical emergency and requested additional units at the scene. He then started to perform CPR and other emergency measures as additional troopers, a good Samaritan doctor, Livingston County EMS and Brighton Area Fire Department members arrived to help try to revive Cramer.
Police said Cramer, a St. Johns resident, did not appear to have suffered any injuries as a result of running his vehicle off the road. He later was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which remains under investigation. The Livingston County Sheriff’s Department also responded to the scene.
A winter weather advisory was in effect for the region Thursday night and Friday morning. Another wintry blast hit the area Saturday.
