Colfax Township accident claims life of Caseville man

The Huron County Sheriff’s Department continues to investigate a single vehicle accident that claimed the life of a Caseville man Thursday evening. According to Sheriff Kelly Hanson, 33-year old Francis Konke was driving his 2001 Lincoln Continental near the southwest corner of M-53 and M-142 in Huron County’s Colfax Township, when he apparently had a medical emergency. This caused Konke to drive his car through a fenced off driveway, striking a guardrail and the side of a business. Central Huron Ambulance arrived and began resucitation efforts before transfering the victim to Mclaren Thumb Region Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy is scheduled to take place next week. The Bad Axe Fire Department and Bad Axe Police Department assisted at the scene.
