Icy roads may have contributed to fatal Baltimore Township crash

The Barry County Sheriff’s Office has released details on a fatal crash in Baltimore Township, reporting that deputies were dispatched to M-37 Highway and Mixer Road on a report of  a two vehicle head-on crash Saturday afternoon.

Preliminary investigation showed that a northbound vehicle and southbound vehicle struck each other head on, fatally injuring the southbound driver, Robert Mayberry, 73, of the Fine Lake area in Johnstown Township.

 

Deputies determined the northbound vehicle entered the southbound lane in an attempt to avoid a rear end crash and struck the Mayberry vehicle head on. Mayberry was taken to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing; the occupants of the other vehicle were transported by ambulance to a Kalamazoo area hospital. All occupants were believed to be wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash, and It does not appear that drugs or alcohol were involved, the release said.

 

Icy roads and deteriorating road conditions appear to be contributing factors in the crash, which remains under investigation, officials said. Deputies were assisted by Michigan State Police, Mercy Ambulance Service, Life Care Ambulance Service, and Hastings and Johnstown fire departments.
