(KNSI) — Two people, including a teenager, are dead after two separate crashes in Cass County over the holiday weekend.
The first happened at 10:00 Sunday night. According to a press release, the sheriff’s office responded to a boat accident with injuries on Ten Mile Lake in rural Hackensack. They say a 50-year-old man was driving a boat near shore when it “possibly struck something on or near the shoreline, causing it to abruptly stop.” A 13-year-old passenger was thrown from the boat. Lifesaving measures were taken at the scene, and she was later pronounced dead. The driver was not seriously injured.
On Monday afternoon, authorities say a woman was killed when her Polaris Ranger partially rolled, trapping her inside. The 56-year-old from Florida was with a group of OHV riders on the Emily-Outing B Trail in Beulah Township when the crash happened at about 3:10. The other riders freed her and immediately began lifesaving measures, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Both crashes are under investigation.
