FAWN RIVER TOWNSHIP, MI (WTVB) – Three teenagers from Sturgis were injured Friday morning in a single vehicle roll-over crash that took place on Franks Avenue south of Ivanhoe Street in St. Joseph County’s Fawn River Township.
Michigan State Police at the Marshall post say it happened at about 11:30 a.m. as a 2006 Ford F150 was traveling north on Franks Avenue.
Troopers say the 16-year-old male driver from Sturgis lost control and went off the road.
The vehicle then rolled over multiple times.
The driver and a 18-year-old front seat passenger were flown to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo by West Michigan Air Care.
A 17-year-old male who was a rear seat passenger was transported to Parkview Lagrange Hospital in Lagrange, Indiana.
Seatbelt use is unknown at this time and the Michigan State Police say speed is believed to be a factor.
The crash remains under investigation and names are being withheld for that reason.
Assisting at the scene were Sturgis Police and Fire Departments, Tri-Township Fire Departments, Life Care Ambulance, and West Michigan Air Care.
