OVERISEL TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A Zeeland teen has died after a car hit a tree in Overisel Township Friday morning.
The Allegan County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) says the crash happened around 6 a.m. near 44th Street and 137th Avenue.
Deputies say a Jeep drove west along 137th Avenue when it left the road and hit a tree.
We’re told first responders found the car on fire with a 14-year-old boy still in the driver’s seat. The fire was put out but the teen was pronounced dead.
Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash.
ACSO credits AMR Ambulance, the Allegan County Medical Examiner’s Office and fire departments from Overisel and Hamilton for their assistance.
