ST. JOSEPH COUNTY (WKZO-AM) — It appears that the Independence Day weekend holiday death toll this year will climb by one now that a Sturgis man who was injured in a crash on July 2 in St. Joseph County has died from his injuries.
Jimmy Whitt, 56, was a backseat passenger in a car that St. Joseph County Sheriff’s deputies said was stuck by 55-year-old Kenelm Digby from Otsego.
Sheriff’s investigators said Joshua Rose, 35, had slowed and stopped to make a turn onto westbound Findley Road when he was struck by Digby’s car.
Whitt as a passenger in Rose’s car. The drivers were not hurt, but Whitt was airlifted to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo with multiple injuries. Digby was cited for failing to yield.
Whitt apparently died from his injuries on Sunday.
