According to a recent statement posted by Morley Stanwood Community Schools, the victim in Wednesday’s fatal crash on Northland Drive was a recent graduate from the high school.

"It is with deep sympathy that I write this letter informing all of you that a former student, a recent graduate, was killed today in a car accident," Superintendent Roger Cole said in the statement. "Out of respect, I am not including the student's name, as I have not been given permission to formally announce anything."

The victim's name is still being withheld until the official autopsy is completed. According to Mecosta County Sheriff Brian Miller, it will be completed in the coming days.
