Arrest of driver made for May crash on I-75
The Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office recently issued a warrant for Sidney Williams charging him with operating while license suspended, revoked, or denied causing serious injury, a five-year felony, for his role in a May accident on Interstate 75 in Bloomfield Township that left five person injured.
On Sunday, May 24, at 6:11 p.m., Bloomfield police officers responded to a serious injury crash on the eastbound business loop Interstate 75 entrance ramp to northbound Interstate 75.
Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu, driven by 28-year-old
Williams of Pontiac, was traveling northbound on I-75 when the driver lost control on the wet roadway, crossed the median, and entered the path of oncoming traffic merging from the entrance ramp.
A 2003 Toyota Camry, driven by a 36-year-old Auburn Hills resident, was unable to avoid the Malibu and struck the passenger side of the vehicle. The Camry was occupied by three passengers, one of whom suffered serious injuries.
A total of five individuals involved in the crash were transported to local hospitals for
treatment. Speed too fast for roadway conditions was determined to be a contributing factor.
Williams was arrested and arraigned on November 4, in front of 48th District Court Magistrate Nelson-Klein. Bond was set at $50,000/10 percent cash or surety. Williams was scheduled for a probable cause conference on November 12, and a preliminary exam on November 19, 2026.
