BLOOMINGDALE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A 19-year-old driver sustained serious injuries after driving off the road and into a tree before being thrown from his vehicle.
The crash happened Saturday night around 11 on County Road 380 just west of 44th Street, according to the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office.
