A 21-year-old Three Rivers man was seriously injured after his vehicle overturned and struck a fence in Park Township early Friday morning.
Deputies from the St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department determined the driver was traveling eastbound on Moorepark Road near Stevens Lane in Park Township in a Nissan SUV when the crash occurred. The vehicle reportedly went off the edge of the roadway to the right before overcorrecting and veering off the left side of the roadway, where it overturned and struck a fence. A mechanical issue may have been a factor in the crash, according to authorities, and a citation was issued to the driver for an equipment violation.
Deputies were assisted at the scene by the Three Rivers and Fabius-Park Township Fire Departments.

TRPD confirms continued use of Flock surveillance technology, says city added seventh camera in 2025
In an exclusive interview with Watershed Voice, Three Rivers Chief of Police Scott Boling and Detective Sgt. Steven Dibble said the cameras provide an additional investigative tool to help identify vehicles connected to crimes.
Flock Safety’s license plate reader system has drawn national criticism from civil liberties groups, particularly the American Civil Liberties Union, which argues the technology enables a form of mass surveillance that extends beyond its original purpose.
Boling said there is no “backdoor access” to the system, including for federal agencies such as ICE, and that any data sharing must be approved by the department.
