Tragic Fatal Crash on U.S. 12 Near Indiana Border Claims Two Lives
A devastating crash early Saturday morning on U.S. 12 near the Indiana border in Berrien County, MI, resulted in the deaths of two individuals. The victims were identified as a 19-year-old man from Iowa and a 36-year-old man from Edwardsburg, according to the Berrien County Sheriff’s Office.
The collision occurred around 1:15 a.m. at the intersection of U.S. 12 and South Redbud Trail, just south of Buchanan. It is believed that the Iowa man, traveling southbound on Redbud Trail in a Chrysler sedan, failed to yield at the intersection to an eastbound Jeep Wrangler on U.S. 12. The impact caused the Jeep Wrangler to land on top of the Chrysler sedan.
Deputies found the Iowa man trapped inside his vehicle and pronounced him dead at the scene. The driver of the Jeep Wrangler, the Edwardsburg man, was ejected from his vehicle and later pronounced deceased at a hospital in Niles. Both drivers were found without seatbelts, and alcohol is being investigated as a potential factor in the crash.
The investigation into the accident is ongoing, with assistance from various local agencies. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.
