SILVER CREEK TOWNSHIP, Mich. — One person was injured during a crash Thursday evening in Cass County.
The single-car crash happened about 5:10 p.m. on Middle Crossing Road east of California Road in Silver Creek Township, according to a news release Friday.
Cass County Sheriff’s Office deputies say the truck, driven by Timothy McDaniel, a 60-year-old Dowagiac man, was traveling eastbound on Middle Crossing Road when his vehicle ran off the roadway.
At that point, he lost control of the vehicle and hit a large tree.
