NEWAYGO COUNTY, Mich. — Two men from West Michigan were killed after the Newaygo County Sheriff's Office said an SUV rolled into a drainage ditch Thursday morning.
Sheriff Bob Mendham said deputies were called to E 110th and S Oak Avenue in Grant Township around 6 a.m. to a report of a vehicle upside down in a ditch.
When deputies made it to the scene, they found a Ford Escape upside down with two men trapped inside.
Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
The sheriff identified the driver as a 21-year-old man from Sparta, and the passenger as a 22-year-old man from Fremont.

The Sheriff's Office was assisted on scene by Grant Fire Department, Jerry's Towing, Life EMS, Mid Michigan Medical Examiners Group, and Newaygo County Central Dispatch.
The crash remains under investigation.
