UPDATE: State Supreme Court Rules Road Commission Can't Be Sued for Accident Caused By Road Dust

Posted: Updated:

The State Supreme Court says the Manistee County Road Commission can't be sued over the death of a teen who's car crash was blamed on road dust.

Debra Hagerty-Kraemer was driving to perform at a Mesick High School Graduation when she was killed back in 2010.

Her family says she was blinded by dust stirred up by a passing vehicle and hit a tree.

The Supreme Court says a dust cloud rising from an unpaved road is not a defect that opens the door to a lawsuit against the road commission.
