Blissfield, MI – A Blissfield teenager died in a crash in Blissfield Township Monday afternoon.
The Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office says that deputies responded to the area of Carrol Road and Berry Road just after 12 Noon for a report of a serious crash. Deputies determined that a Jeep Grand Cherokee was heading southbound on Carrol Road and lost control while navigating through a curve.
It appears that after the vehicle left the roadway it struck a driveway causing the vehicle to go airborne, sending the vehicle into a large tree. The rear seat passenger, a 19-year-old man from Blissfield, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Excessive speed appears to have been a factor. The name of the deceased is being withheld until notification of the family and completion of the investigation.
The Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Blissfield Fire Department, Madison Township Fire Department, The Lenawee County Accident Investigation Team and the Lenawee County Medical Examiner’s Office.
