Michigan Avenue was closed in both directions Wednesday night, between State and Old State Road, after a man crashed into police cars while they were conducting a traffic stop.
According to scanner radio files, the strange incident all started in Pittsfield Township on Maple Road, near Travis Pointe. The driver of a blue Jeep Wrangler complained that the driver of a grey Ford Mustang was harassing and following him/herr, and driving up the shoulder beside their vehicle. The Wrangler made its way on to Industrial Drive and turned east on to Michigan Avenue. Metro Dispatch was trying to direct the vehicle the driver of the Wrangler to the Pittsfield police department. A Pittsfield Township police officer intercepted the Mustang near Moon Road and pulled the driver over in front of the Bigby Coffee Shop plaza at about 9:08 p.m.
At 9:22, a second officer radioed Metro Dispatch to say a car crashed into the police cruiser of the officer who made the stop.
According to a press release issued by Pittsfield Township police, two fully-marked police vehicles were stationary on East Michigan Avenue with overhead lights activated when an eastbound vehicle struck the read and side of both police cruisers and theMustang. The impact caused one of the patrol vehicles to be pushed into a police officer who was standing outside the vehicle. The officer was injured.
The driver of the vehicle is an 80-year-old Pittsfield Township man.
By 9:24 p.m. police reported to dispatch that the man who suffered the medical issue was unconscious.
Police started CPR at 9:25 p.m. and continued until Pittsfield Township Fire and Huron Valley Ambulance personnel were on the scene.
Both the 80-year-old man and police officer were transported to local hospitals for medical treatment. The officer was treated and released. The 80-year-old man was listed in critical condition Thursday morning.
Police requested the road be closed in both directions at 9:26 p.m.
According to the Pittsfield Township Police, alcohol appears to be a factor in the crash.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
