MENOMINEE COUNTY, MI-- An Escanaba man injured in a Memorial Day weekend crash in Menominee County has died.
Michigan State Police from the Gladstone Post were called May 24 to the two-vehicle crash on M-35 in Cedar River. A northbound vehicle tried to turn left into the Cedar River Plaza and drove into the path of a southbound vehicle.
The driver of the northbound vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the southbound vehicle was taken to Bay Area Medical Center. His passenger—24-year-old Brett Pearson of Escanaba—was airlifted to Covenant Healthcare in Saginaw. Troopers say Pearson died of his injuries Saturday.
