Authorities say the Grand Rapids Police Department received a call at 1:14 a.m. regarding a serious injury accident in the 1600 block of Golf Course Road. Investigators found a Ford F-150 pickup truck had left the roadway, striking multiple trees.
The male driver, the sole occupant, received immediate medical attention but was pronounced dead shortly after, according to police. The victim's identity has not been disclosed.
