On Tuesday, May, 26th, 2026 at 1:18 PM Ingham County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to northbound US127 near W Holt Rd for a report of a crash involving a passenger vehicle and Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) construction workers.
A vehicle being driven by a 24-year-old Dewitt man lost control and struck two MDOT workers, a 49-year-old Mason man and a 51-year-old Mason man. Both of the MDOT workers died on scene. The Dewitt man was transported to a local hospital where he is listed in critical condition.
Northbound US127 was shut down to safely provide life saving efforts and investigate the scene. It was reopened at 6:30pm.
Delhi Township Fire, Mason Fire, and MMR Ambulance responded. Our investigators were assisted by the Ingham Regional Crash Investigation Team. Responding members included the Meridian Twp. Police Department and Michigan State University Police Department. A thorough investigation is underway and will take time. Speed is believed to be a factor, preliminarily. Names will be withheld until satisfactory notifications of kin can be completed.
