JACKSON COUNTY, MI – A Jackson man died in a single-car crash Sunday night in Spring Arbor Township.
Dusten Mikkle Rogers, 26, was driving a 2000 black Ford Taurus west on Carter Road when he hit a tree around 11:53 p.m., March 14, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said.
Rogers was the only person in the car. He was taken to Henry Ford Allegiance Health where he died from his injuries, police said.
The sheriff’s office Accident Reconstruction Team is investigating the crash. Alcohol doesn’t appear to be a factor, police said.

“That’s when I knew I was getting old,” the OB-GYN said, with a laugh.
Farhat and Garland Scott have run the Women’s Alliance of Jackson, a private-practice obstetrics and gynecology office affiliated with the hospital, for 34 years. Both are retiring this month.
Between the two of them, they estimate they’ve delivered 20,000 babies in their careers, mostly in Jackson.
“We’ve contributed a lot to the community and the patients definitely appreciate us and we appreciate them,” Scott said.
Scott and Farhat joined Women’s Alliance of Jackson, formerly on Franklin Street, in 1987 when the doctors running the practice wanted to retire. Scott spent time working for the U.S. Army and decided to bring his family to Jackson, while Farhat was recruited because there was a shortage of OB-GYN doctors in the area.

DETROIT (March 11, 2021) - Henry Ford Cancer Institute is launching the Participatory Action for Access to Clinical Trials (PAACT) project to dramatically improve the representation of the African American community and other minorities in cancer clinical trials.
Supported by a $750,000 grant from Genentech, PAACT is a community-based research initiative in collaboration with the Detroit Community-Academic Urban Research Center (Detroit URC) that will address various barriers to trust and participation in clinical trials. Researchers and community partners will focus on clinical trials involving breast, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancers, which are more likely to result in death for African Americans when compared to other racial and ethnic groups.
