PARK TOWNSHIP – A one vehicle crash claimed the life of a 60 year old Portage man.

St. Joseph County Sheriff Mark Lillywhite says his deputies were called to investigate a crash of a delivery vehicle in the 52,000 block of Parkview Road in Park Township at 1:30 Tuesday afternoon. The vehicle had been heading north on Parkville Road and went off the west side of the road. It then struck a guidewire for a power pole and a pile of scrap metal before coming to rest in a field.

It's believed the driver suffered a possible medical issue which led to the crash. Deputies attempted life saving measures, but the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Assisting deputies were the Fabius-Park Fire Department and the Three Rivers Fire Department.
