One dead, another seriously injured in late night car crash



COLFAX TOWNSHIP – One man is dead and another fighting for his life following a single-vehicle crash that took place late Tuesday on M-53, north of Rapson Road.

According to the Huron County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to the scene around 11 p.m. A preliminary investigation is indicating a northbound vehicle with two occupants lost control and overturned several times.

One, 22-year-old Jostlyn Serrano Pabon, was ejected and died from his injuries. The other, 23-year-old Daniel Classayala, was transported to McLaren Thumb Region by Central Huron Ambulance Service and was later flown out with life-threatening injuries.

It is believed speed and alcohol likely played a part in the accident.

As of Wednesday morning, officials were unsure which man was the driver of the vehicle, but say both were staying in Port Austin and are from out of state. Names were being withheld as of press time, to allow for notification of friends and family.

The scene was processed and the investigation is ongoing. Assisting at the scene were Elkton EMS, the Bad Axe and Kinde Fire departments and Bad Axe Police Department.
