Fatal Single-Vehicle Crash in Vergennes Township
VERGENNES TOWNSHIP, Mich:
The Kent County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal single-vehicle crash that occurred last night in Vergennes Township.
On Feb. 4, 2025, at approximately 10:35 p.m., deputies responded to a crash on Vergennes Street near Flat River Drive. Preliminary investigation indicates that a sedan traveling eastbound on Vergennes Street struck a deer and the driver to lost control. The vehicle left the roadway, crossed Flat River Drive, and rolled over in a wooded area.
