A 21-year-old Clarkston man is dead after his sport utility vehicle struck a tree in Washtenaw County. Police in Northfield Township, where the crash happened about 5:45 p.m. Wednesday, have not released the man’s name, pending notification of family. It’s unclear why the man drove off the road, according to Northfield Township Police Lt. Tim Greene. However, the vehicle appears to have been speeding. The speedometer still registered 68 m.p.h. as police investigated. The speed limit is 55 m.p.h. in that area of Spencer and Seven Mile roads southeast of Whitmore Lake, Greene said. The victim, who was not wearing a seat belt, was dead at the scene.
