KCSO Investigating Fatal Crash in Northern Kent County
NELSON TOWNSHIP, Mich: On August 27, 2025, just after 6:00 a.m., deputies responded to a three-vehicle crash on Northland Drive NE between Coan Street and Ritchie Avenue.
The investigation found that a southbound vehicle crossed the center line and struck a northbound vehicle, causing that car to crash into a second southbound vehicle who was behind the at-fault vehicle. The driver of the northbound vehicle, a 63-year-old man from Howard City, died at the scene. The driver of the second southbound vehicle, a 37-year-old male from Trufant, and the at-fault driver, a 26-year-old male from Morley, were both transported to the hospital with serious injuries, one of them by Aeromed.
All three vehicles were occupied by the drivers only. This crash remains under investigation by the KCSO Traffic Safety Unit.
We extend our condolences to the family and friends of the man who lost his life in this crash.
