The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says two people were injured in a two-car crash on White Temple Road south of Dutch Settlement Wednesday.
Officials say 55-year-old Harvey Lee Terry of Lawton was traveling northbound when he crossed the centerline and hit a southbound vehicle driven by 27-year-old Gage Alexander Eby of Elkhart.
Terry was trapped in his truck and first responders were called to extricate him. He was taken to Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo with what were described as non-life-threatening injuries. Eby was treated for his injuries at the scene. The crash appears to be speed-related, and alcohol and drugs do not appear to have been factors.
The incident remains under investigation. The Cass County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by SMCAS and the Penn Township Fire Department at the scene.

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.
