Officials with Thomas Township Police Department, Thomas Township Fire Department and Mobile Medical Response were called to the injury crash just before 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 3.
There were numerous crashes in Saginaw County throughout the day Saturday, as snow and sleet created slippery road conditions.
Just before 2:30 p.m., officials with the Saginaw County Sherriff's Department and Zilwaukee and Buena Vista Township fire departments were called to the northbound side of the Zilwaukee Bridge for a crash involving a car and a tractor-trailer.
Saginaw County Sheriff's Department Lt. Randy Pfau said the tractor-trailer had been carrying fuel, which fire department officials were helping to clean up.
The Saginaw County Crash Team was called to investigate "due to the serious nature of the semi-truck driver's injuries," he said.
The Zilwaukee Bridge on northbound I-75 was to be closed until further notice, officials said.
Wintry weather could cause more travel woes Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 4
