A top accident attorney would come in handy after a one-car crash in Cassopolis, Michigan, left one person fatally injured. The tragic occurrence, which left two other people hospitalized with serious injuries, occurred on Saturday morning, May 30.

The Cass County Sheriff’s Office responded to a solo-vehicle crash before noon, shortly after witnesses called it in. The highway accident happened on Church Road, in the Volinia Township, and left three casualties in its wake, officers reported.

Preliminary reports indicated that a 21-year-old Dowagiac man, identified as Austin Price, was behind the wheels of the involved car. Two other occupants, including Michael Mortimore, 21, and Nicholas Carey, 22, were also traveling alongside him at the time.

Officials said the vehicle was eastbound on Church when it suddenly spiraled out of control and left the roadway. The car then flipped at least once, before eventually crashing into a tree located on the side of the road.

Emergency responders showed up at the location a few minutes later and tried to rescue the three victims from the wreckage. They pronounced Michael Mortimore deceased at the scene, while the other two received transportation to Bronson Hospital, Kalamazoo, for treatment of severe injuries. Information about their present condition is pending.

Detectives believe drugs or alcohol played a role in the traffic crash, which is still under investigation.

Although the cause of the crash is yet to be established, the timely intervention of a top accident lawyer is essential.
