Brandon Burt, 33, of Manistique, died from injuries sustained in the crash, which occurred Wednesday, Feb. 26, on Schoolcraft County 442, according to authorities. He was identified by officials Monday afternoon.

Police said Burt was traveling eastbound on the county road at about 6:15 p.m. Wednesday when he lost control of his vehicle. The vehicle left the roadway and struck some trees, ejecting Burt.
