MANISTEE TOWNSHIP, MI – A high school junior died over the weekend in a rollover car crash in Northern Michigan.
Kevin Dean, a junior at Brethren High School in Manistee County, was among four boys in the vehicle that crashed, Kaleva Norman Dickson Schools said in a Facebook announcement. He died of his injuries. The school district is offering grief counseling.
Michigan State Police Cadillac Post troopers responded to a single-vehicle, rollover crash on River Road in Manistee Township around 9:50 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13.
The initial investigation indicates that the Jeep Grand Cherokee was traveling east on River when the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and roll several times.
All four occupants were teenage boys from Manistee County. All but one were ejected from the vehicle in the crash. They all sustained serious injuries and were transported to a local hospital before being moved to hospitals in Grand Rapids and Traverse City for more advanced treatment. Dean died of his injuries.
Police believe alcohol and speed may have contributed to the crash. The investigation is ongoing.
Troopers were assisted at the scene by the Manistee County Sheriff’s Office, Manistee Township Fire, Little River Band of Ottawa Indians Police Department, Onekama Township Fire, Manistee City Fire/EMS and North Flight EMS.
