CASS COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Cass County Sheriff’s Office is reporting that a two-vehicle car crash sent two people to a hospital Tuesday afternoon.
Around 2:00 p.m., deputies responded to a personal injury crash on Dailey Road just south of Pokagon Hwy. in La Grange Township.
57-year-old Cheryl Lee Black and her passenger, 87-year-old James Clay Pease, both of Dowagiac were traveling eastbound on Pokagon highway when a vehicle driven by 18-year-old Malcolm Everett Willer of Union Pier failed to yield at a stop sign, which caused Black to swerve off the road into a ravine.
She struck several large rocks in the ravine as a result. Black and James had to be transported to Borgess Lee in Niles for treatment of their injuries.
All parties involved were wearing seatbelts and alcohol is not believed to be a factor.
