Blanchard Man, 62, Killed in Isabella County Rollover Crash with Alcohol and No Seatbelt Cited as Factors
A Blanchard man, 62, tragically lost his life following a violent rollover crash in Isabella County on Saturday, as reported by ABC12. Isabella County Sheriff's deputies were dispatched to Blanchard Road near Britton Road where the crash occurred, finding the vehicle had rolled several times, ultimately leading to the man's ejection and his untimely death at the scene.
It is believed by the authorities that the man was under the influence of alcohol—a significant amount before the incident unfolded, he had become upset with his family and left the residence hastily in his vehicle but met his fate a mere distance away, this information has been confirmed by the Isabella County Sheriff’s Office. According to The Morning Sun, Sheriff Michael Main stated in a press release that the man was also not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident involving his 1997 Ford Expedition.
The undisclosed victim, whose name is withheld pending the notification of next of kin, is at the center of a grim reminder about the dangers of impaired driving and the critical importance of seatbelt use. UpNorthLive notes that despite initial reports stating the man was 65, the sheriff's office clarified the Blanchard man was indeed 62-years-old. Responders including Isabella County Central Dispatch, the Millbrook-Rolland Fire Department, Fremont Fire/Rescue, and Mobile Medical Response were at the scene to assist.
The investigation continues as the community reels from the tragedy, and the Sheriff's Office has yet to release further details about the crash "During the investigation it was learned that the man consumed a high amount of alcohol before getting upset with family and leaving in his vehicle" Sheriff Michael Main disclosed in the aftermath of the fatal event, as per UpNorthLive report.
