Iron River Twp. Man Dead in Wreck
An Iron County man is dead, and 3 others are hurt, in a weekend rollover accident.
And police think alcohol was involved.
The county Sheriff’s Department says it happened in Bates Township early Sunday morning, just before 5am Central time.
22-year-old Kevin White of Iron River Township was driving south on the Bates-Gaastra Road, about a mile south of US-2.
His vehicle left the road and rolled over.
White and one of his passengers were thrown from the vehicle.
That person and 2 other passengers were taken to a hospital.
Police say none of the passengers’ injuries appear to be life-threatening.
Besides suspected alcohol use by White, a lack of seatbelt use is thought to be a contributing factor.
