Garden, MI — On Tuesday morning, a semi-truck driver from Hawks had to be taken to a hospital after his big rig rear-ended another semi-truck in the Garden area. Police said that this was on Route 2, along Big Bay De Noc, and identified the injured truck driver as William Watson, 59 years old.
They said that Mr. Watson was injured after his semi-truck crashed into the back of another smei-truck that happened to hauling dynamite. Fortunately, nothing was detonated or exploded.
Police said that this accident happened around 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning, February 22. Watson was driving his truck east along U.S. 2 when he came upon a semi-truck ahead of him that was slowing down to make a left turn into the rest stop.
Watson wasn’t able to brake in time and rear-ended the back of the second semi-truck, which was being driven by Erik Somirs, 69. The accident injured Watson and he was taken via medical helicopter to a nearby hospital. However, Somirs wasn’t injured at all. Right now, police aren’t sure why Watson failed to brake, but they’re investigating some more.
