10/11/17 - Leslie rollover crash, 1577 Covert Rd

At approximately 10:20 PM on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, OnStar contacted Ingham Central Dispatch reporting an indication of a rollover crash on Covert Rd west of Wright Rd. Responders arrived and found nothing immediately visible, however a debris path was located in a field which led them to a car wedged upright at a 45 degree angle in a group of trees. No occupants were found in or around the car. Not knowing how many people were in the car and seeing the potential for serious injuries, the Leslie Fire Department responded with their aerial tower to do a check from the air with their thermal imaging camera, and their light trailer to illuminate the entire path of the crash. Police used a tracking dog to try to locate any occupants as well, but no one was not found. Due to the mechanism of the crash, police activated the accident investigation team. After the crash scene was documented by police, the car was removed from the trees.
