The driver, 19-year-old Terry George III from Dowagiac, was heading east bound on Peavine Road. The car did not make a turn, instead leaving the road and hitting a tree, causing heavy damage to the front end.

George was taken to Borgess Lee along with one of his passengers, 17-year-old Ralph Richmond, for minor injuries.
