His car hit a 2017 Chevrolet Trax, pushing it into another car driven by a 64-year-old woman from Wixom, leaving her with minor injuries.
The 30-year-old driver of the Trax, who was wearing a seatbelt, died at the scene.
Police say excessive speed and alcohol use by Koldys, who was seriously hurt, played a role in the crash.
Koldys is being held in jail on a $25,000 bond and is scheduled to appear at the 52-1 District Court in Novi on Dec. 30 for a probable cause conference.
