SIDNEY TOWNSHIP — A 32-year-old Howard City man is dead after crashing his pickup truck into a tree.
The Montcalm County Sheriff’s Office says emergency crews responded to a report of a crashed 1997 Ford Ranger pickup in a ditch along County Farm Road near Huck Drive in Sidney Township just after 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Sheridan firefighters were the first to arrive and found the driver still inside the truck. The sheriff’s office says they attempted life-saving measures on the 32-year-old Howard City man, but he was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.
