On a regular Thursday evening in Novi, a local man lost his life in a severe car accident. Steven Erno, a 62-year-old man, was driving on Beck Road when his car crossed the centerline and crashed head-on into another vehicle. The tragic accident happened on August 29.
Local authorities rushed to the scene around 5:08 p.m., north of 8 Mile Road on Beck Road. It seems, Erno was driving his Ford Fusion towards the north when the unfortunate event occurred.
