BLISSFIELD, Mich. — The Lenawee County Sheriff's Office has identified a 19-year-old killed in a car crash Monday afternoon. Two others were injured in the crash.
According to a report, a Jeep Grand Cherokee was traveling southbound on Carrol Road in Blissfield Township at approximately 12:10 p.m. on Monday. Sheriff deputies determined the driver lost control of the vehicle while negotiating a turn near Berry Road.
The vehicle appeared to have left the roadway and struck a driveway, which caused the vehicle to go airborne and strike a tree, authorities said.
19-year-old Roger Preston of Blissfield was in the rear seat of the vehicle at the time of the crash. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle, a 19-year-old male, suffered a non-life threatening head injury; the front passenger, also 19-years-old, suffered minor injuries.
The Lenawee County Sheriff's Office said they continue to work with the Lenawee County Crash Investigation Team and the Medical Examiner’s Office.
