The Huron County Sheriff Department is investigating a one-vehicle accident that claimed the life of a 25-year old man.
Huron County Sheriff Kelly Hanson said deputies responded to the area of Kilmanagh and Brown Road in Brookfield Township around 7 a.m. Thursday.
A passerby had notified Central Dispatch that there was a full size pickup overturned in the deep ditch that had around three inches of water in it.

Sheriff Hanson said neighbors believe the accident happened before 5:30 a.m.
The Huron County Medical Examiner’s Office will conduct an autopsy and the investigation continues.
