KCSO Investigating Fatal Single Vehicle Crash
VERGENNES TOWNSHIP, Mich: On January 21, 2026, just after 3:30 p.m., deputies responded to a single-vehicle crash on Lincoln Lake Ave NE, just north of McPherson St NE.
Preliminary investigation indicates the vehicle lost control on the roadway and struck a tree. The driver, a 79-year-old Grattan Township man and sole occupant of the vehicle, was pronounced deceased at the scene. Speed for road conditions is suspected to be a contributing factor; however, the crash remains under investigation by the Kent County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Safety Unit.
Lincoln Lake Ave was closed between McPherson St and 3 Mile Rd during the investigation and has since been reopened.
