A 25-year-old Benton Harbor man is dead following a crash in Benton Township early Saturday. The Benton Township Police Department says officers were called to the scene at South Benton Center Road and East Britain Avenue shortly before 2 a.m. They arrived to find a Dodge Challenger off the road and fully engulfed in flames. The Benton Township Fire Department put out the flames, and police determined the vehicle had been southbound on South Benton Center when it left the road and hit some trees. First responders gave aid to the passenger, but he died at the scene as a result of his injuries. The driver of the vehicle was taken to Spectrum Health Lakeland hospital for minor injuries. The Berrien County Sheriff’s Department is now investigating the crash and asks anyone with information on it to contact them.
