A 20-year old Big Rapids man is recovering following a car crash in Newaygo County Thursday evening.

 

It happened just after 5pm at E Baseline Rd near S Cherry Ave in Goodwell Township.

 

Sheriff Deputies say when they arrived to the scene, it was found that a SUV was heading eastbound on E Baseline Rd, crossed over the center-line, went off the road and struck a tree.

 

The driver of the SUV was identified as a 20-year-old man from Big Rapids. He was transported by Aero Med to Spectrum Health Butterworth in Grand Rapids.

 

Speed appears to be a factor in the crash.

 

The accident remains under investigation by the Sheriff’s Office.
