One person is dead following a chase with police in Buchanan Wednesday.
The Berrien County Sheriff’s Department says a deputy on patrol in the city noticed an SUV in the wrong lane of travel on Front Street around 2:45 a.m. and attempted to pull it over. The vehicle then sped off south on Redbud Trail with the deputy in pursuit.
The driver lost control and went airborne as the vehicle crossed some railroad tracks, causing the SUV to hit a tree and then crash into a house off South Redbud Trail near Hobart Street.
The driver was the lone occupant of the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene. That person’s name has not been released. No one in the home was hurt.
The crash remains under investigation.
