Driver fleeing from deputy dies in U.S. 131 roll-over crash

UPDATE: The driver who died in the Sept. 13 crash has been identified by the Allegan County Sheriff's Office as Lloyd Dale Jackson, 45, from Newport, Arkansas. 

 

ORIGINAL STORY: The driver of a vehicle involved in an attempted traffic stop died last night (Sept.13) about 10:30 p.m. on U.S. 131 near 142nd Avenue, according to the Allegan County Sheriff’s Office. Officials said an Allegan County deputy northbound on the expressway observed a vehicle coming up behind him swerving in the roadway and attempted a traffic stop near 135th Avenue.

 

The driver pulled over on the shoulder of the road once, but when the deputy approached the vehicle, again fled. As the deputy attempted to catch up with the vehicle, the driver turned off the headlights, then lost control and struck cable barriers, causing the vehicle to overturn several times. He was pronounced dead at the scene.  His name is not being released pending notification of family. The man was not wearing a seatbelt and alcohol is believe to be a factor in the crash.

 

Dorr Fire Department, Wayland EMS, Michigan State Police and the Wayland City Police Department assisted at the scene.
