Ashley Thomas, a University of Michigan student, was killed in a Detroit car accident that occurred on M-39. The semi-truck-car accident took place on Friday, October 23rd. According to police, the axle of a gas tanker driving in the opposite direction of Thomas broke, detaching dual affixed tires that struck a semi-truck and flew off the truck striking Ashley Thomas’ vehicle. Tragically, the U of M student was pronounced dead at the scene. Sloan Petroleum Transportation owned the semi-truck and could face charges depending on the outcome of the investigation that is being done by the Michigan State Police.
