CASS COUNTY, Mich. - The Cass County Sheriff's Office reports that on Saturday night around 8:49 p.m., a call came in of a single-vehicle crash near the intersection of US-12 and Robbins Lake Road in Porter Township.

Authorities say their investigation shows a car driven by Elkhart resident, Charles Koonee III, was traveling west on US-12 near the intersection of Robbins Lake Road when a tree fell in the roadway striking Koonee’s vehicle pushing the vehicle off the roadway and causing damage to the vehicle.

Koonee's passenger, Samantha Glaire, was transported to a local hospital for injuries sustained in the crash.

Police say seatbelts were worn by those involved and alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor.
