BOSTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — One man is dead after a crash Thursday afternoon.

Just before 3 p.m., Ionia County Deputies responded to calls saying a car left Eastbound I-96 near Hastings Rd, eventually hitting several trees.

Louis Rumsey, of Lake Odessa, was found in the vehicle and taken to Spectrum Butterworth with life-threatening injuries.

Police later learned Rumsey did not survive.

It's believe a medical emergency caused the 50 year-old to lose control, though the investigation is still ongoing.
