"GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP - A Grand Rapids man was pronounced dead after his vehicle crashed into a tree Friday afternoon.

Around 3:25 p.m. (Censored), 27, was driving eastbound on Cascade Road SE, west of Cascade West Parkway, when he traveled off the snowy roadway and struck a tree.

Bedinger was pronounced dead shortly after he arrived at Spectrum Butterworth.

He was wearing a seat belt, and alcohol was not a factor, the Kent County Sheriff's Department said.

Witnesses estimate the man's Honda Element was traveling eastbound about 45 to 50 mph when it crossed into the westbound lanes. It went off the road and hit a tree by the Cascade Country Club golf course."
