 A fatal overnight crash in Moffatt Township, Michigan, has left a community mourning after 41-year-old Dana Brooke Quigley was killed in a suspected hit-and-run involving an e-bike along M-76 early Sunday morning. Authorities say the incident is now under active investigation, with charges expected as officials continue piecing together what led to the deadly collision.

According to the Gladwin County Sheriff’s Office, emergency crews were dispatched at approximately 12:32 a.m. on May 17 to the area near M-76 and the O&M trailer park after reports of a crash involving a motor vehicle and an e-bike. When deputies arrived, they found Quigley suffering from fatal injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators confirmed that Dana Quigley was operating the e-bike at the time of the collision. Authorities said the driver of the vehicle involved initially fled the scene before law enforcement arrived, prompting an urgent search effort in the surrounding area as deputies worked to locate both the suspect vehicle and its driver.

A crash reconstruction specialist with the sheriff’s office responded to process the scene, document evidence, and begin analyzing the circumstances surrounding the impact. Officials focused on roadway evidence, vehicle debris, and scene measurements as part of the effort to reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the fatal crash on the rural stretch of highway.

After an initial search, authorities later located both the vehicle and the driver believed to be connected to the collision. While officials have confirmed that criminal charges are forthcoming, they have not yet released the identity of the suspect or detailed the specific charges that will be filed as the investigation continues to develop.

Multiple agencies assisted in the response and investigation, including the Michigan State Police, Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police Department, Mobile Medical Response, and the Alger Area Fire Department. Emergency personnel worked through the early morning hours to secure the scene and assist investigators with documentation and recovery efforts.

The case has drawn strong attention in the local community, particularly due to the suspected hit-and-run nature of the incident. Residents in the area have expressed concern about roadway safety along M-76, where visibility and rural conditions can present additional risks for both motorists and individuals using smaller vehicles such as e-bikes.

Authorities emphasized that the investigation remains active as they continue reviewing evidence and preparing formal charges. Officials have not released further details at this time, stating that updates will be provided as the legal process moves forward. For now, the focus remains on understanding the full circumstances of the crash and ensuring accountability as the case proceeds through the justice system. Loved ones of Dana Quigley continue to mourn her sudden loss while community members await further information from investigators in the days ahead.
