A 75-year-old Belleville man died in a car accident that occurred near Waltz and Judd Roads on Sept. 16.

Huron Township emergency personnel were called to the area at 2:21 p.m. on a call of an accident.

Upon arrival, officers and medical personnel on scene found Thomas Mucker pinned inside the vehicle.

Mucker had reportedly clipped another car and then drove into a culvert near the area.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Michigan State Police Accident Reconstruction Team responded to the scene to assist with the investigation.

The investigation is ongoing and further information will be released when it’s available, Public Safety Director Everette Robbins said.

Alcohol and/or drugs do not initially appear to be a factor in the crash, he said.

No one else was injured and the next of kin has been informed.

“Our sincere condolences go out the family of Mr. Mucker. Hopefully the investigation will ultimately give them some answers and closure,” Robbins said.
