RIP: Jeffrey Zaslow, a journalist, columnist, and author best known for his work with Gabby Giffords and Capt. Sully Sullenberger, was killed in a car crash in northern Michigan.
He was 53.
Zaslow apparently lost control of his vehicle while driving along the snow-covered M-32 near Elmira Township, Michigan, and collided with an oncoming semi. The truck driver’s condition is unknown.
The Philadelphia-born, West Bloomfield-based father of three co-authored several memoirs, including Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger’s Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters, and, more recently, Gabrielle Giffords and Capt. Mark Kelly’s Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope.
Zaslow began his career writing for the Orlando Sentinel’s Florida magazine. He then moved on to write for the Wall Street Journal, where a story about a competition to replace advice columnist Ann Landers at the Chicago Sun-Times helped him land the gig.
He eventually returned to the Wall Street Journal, where he had been writing a column about relationships and life transitions called “Moving On.”
Zaslow is survived by his wife, Fox 2 Detroit news anchor Sherry Margolis, and their three daughters, Jordan, Alex, and Eden.
