Elsie man fatally injured east of St. Johns<\/strong><\/p>\n

On January 18, 2022 at 7:20 a.m. the Clinton County Sheriff\u2019s Office was dispatched to a 3 vehicle injury traffic crash on M-21 just west of the US 127 interchange in Bingham Township.<\/p>\n

A passenger vehicle driven by Beronica Duttenhaver, age 20, of Maple Rapids was exiting the MDOT parking lot to pull out onto M-21 and stopped in the roadway due to traffic. She was then struck by westbound pickup truck driven by Zachary Miller, age 20, of Elsie.<\/p>\n

\"\"After the initial crash all occupants were sharing information checking for injuries. A westbound vehicle driven by a 17-year-old from Ovid struck two of the individuals in the roadway. One was a bystander with minor injuries, and the second was Miller.<\/p>\n

Miller was unresponsive at the scene and transported to Sparrow Clinton where he passed away from his injuries.<\/p>\n

The traffic crash remains under investigation. The Clinton County Sheriff\u2019s Office was assisted by St. Johns Police, St. Johns Fire and Rescue, Clinton Area Ambulance and Clinton County Central Dispatch.<\/p>\n
