3-vehicle accident in Cass County sends driver to hospital

CASS COUNTY, MI - The Cass County Sheriff's Office said a multi-vehicle accident on Monday afternoon sent one of the drivers to the hospital.

A report by WKZO states that the crash happened in the area of Mason Street and Union Road shortly before 4 p.m.  An investigation determined that a man headed west on Mason Street failed to stop at the sign at Union Road and collided with a southbound vehicle.  That vehicle struck a third vehicle that was stopped on the side of Mason Street.

The first driver, a man from Elkhart, Indiana, was transported to Elkhart General Hospital with undisclosed injuries.  The other drivers, 60-year-old Paul Zinich of Elkhart and 52-year-old Bill Scarberry of Jones, were treated at the scene and released.

Investigators have yet to determine whether alcohol was a contributing factor in the incident.
