Traffic fatalities are all tragic.
But when it involves a pregnant woman bearing her first child, it's all the more tragic.
WWJ reports that Kayla White, 23, of Ferndale, was killed around 4:45 p.m. Tuesday when her car exploded on the northbound Lodge Freeway, just north of the Telegraph Road exit.
WWJ reports:
Michigan State Police say the incident started as a chain reaction crash. Initial investigation revealed that traffic was slowing in the right lane of M-10 near Telegraph when the driver of a 2002 Cadillac, who police say was not paying attention, could not stop and struck a 2003 Jeep Liberty, driven by White.
The collision forced White’s vehicle into a 2014 Nissan Cube, which then struck a 2015 Lincoln MKZ, which was slowing for traffic.
WWJ reports that police don't believe alcohol played a role, but were investigating whether the driver was texting.
