WAYNE TOWNSHIP — A Cassopolis woman was injured when her vehicle crashed into Mill Pond Wednesday, according to the Cass County Sheriff’s Department.

Deputies were dispatched to Dutch Settlement, west of M-62, at 1:37 p.m. Wednesday to investigate the crash. Initial investigation showed Becky Wright, 58, of Cassopolis, was traveling west on Dutch Settlement when she swerved to avoid a vehicle traveling east on the same road.

Wright was evaluated on scene by emergency personnel and transported to Borgess Lee Memorial Hospital in Dowagiac.

She was wearing a seat belt when the crash occurred. Deputies do not suspect drugs or alcohol as a factor in the crash.
