AMBER TOWNSHIP — Russell Spore, 60 of Scottville, died Friday afternoon after the pickup truck he was driving rear-ended a semi-truck and trailer that was stopped for a red light on US 10-31 at Stiles Road, according to Mason County Sheriff Kim Cole. Spore was pronounced dead at the scene.

Preliminary findings indicate the pickup truck never braked prior to impact, Cole said. The semi truck was from Darrell E. Weeks Trucking of Morley.

Cole said the sheriff’s office has increased US 10 patrols for the holiday weekend and also as a response of recent crashes on the highway. He said a deputy was in Scottville and another was at the intersection of US 10 and Meyers Road at the time of the crash. “We had a deputy on the scene within three minutes of it occurring,” Cole said.

Responding to the scene were MCSO, Michigan State Police, Scottville Police Department, Scottville Fire Department, Custer Fire Department, Hamlin Township Fire Department, Pere Marquette Township Fire Department, and Life EMS.

The crash remains under investigation.
