A man who was airlifted from a wreck scene Monday has succumbed to his injuries.
The Hillsdale County Sheriff's Department says that 34-year-old Matthew Erle Depew of Reading has passed away as a result of injuries after being flown to the Fulton County Health Center in Ohio.
Depew was airlifted from the scene of a wreck on Bankers Road in Reading Township Monday afternoon. Hillsdale County Sheriff's reports indicate that Depew was driving westbound on Bankers Road when he began to swerve, lost control of his vehicle, and struck a tree on the north side of the road.
The vehicle came to rest in the front yard of a nearby residence.
Fire & Rescue crews had to use rescue tools to extract Depew from the vehicle.
The crash remains under investigation with the Hillsdale County Sheriff’s Office.
