At approximately 7:13 a.m., the Cass County Sheriff’s Office responded to a crash at the intersection of Gumwood Road and Redfield Street.

According to Sheriff Richard Behnke, the initial investigation showed that a vehicle driven by a 17-years-old Stevensville resident failed to stop for a stop sign due to fog and struck a tree.
According to deputies, the teen sustained minor injuries from the crash and was transported to South Bend Memorial Hospital.
