Isabella County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a two-car accident at the intersection of Broadway and Summerton Roads.

At this time, it appears that the vehicle driven by the 80-year old woman was traveling eastbound on Broadway Road when it approached a traffic light. This vehicle appears to have failed to yield the right of way to the other vehicle, a GMC Terrain driven by a 19-year old woman from Beaverton, which was traveling southbound on Summerton Road.

The vehicle that was struck lost control and ran of the roadway crashing into a garage that was attached to a house. There was substantial damage to the garage and another vehicle inside the garage. No one was home at the time of the crash.

The 80-year old woman and her passenger an 81-year old man both from Howard City were taken to Midland with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries. However, once at the emergency room the 81-year male had a cardiac episode and died.

The other passengers in the Terrain sustained minor injuries.
