RICHLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A man is dead after a Richland Township crash Monday morning.

The Montcalm County Sheriff’s Office says the single-vehicle crash happened at Crystal Road and Lake Montcalm Road at around 11:30 a.m.

We’re told a 51-year-old Edmore man in a 2015 Jeep Cherokee drove south on Crystal Road when he hit a tree after unsuccessfully navigating the curve.

Deputies say the man died at the scene.

Speed is not a suspected factor in the crash, and neither are drugs or alcohol.

The sheriff’s office says the victim did not have a seat belt on.

The crash remains under investigation.
