(CONSTANTINE TOWNSHIP) - One person is dead following a vehicle-pedestrian crash in Constantine Township.


St. Joseph County Sheriff Chad Spence says his office was called out at 6:48 PM Tuesday to the area of Withers Road and U.S. 131. During their investigation, deputies determined that 50-year-old Lee Divelbliss of Three Rivers was driving east on Withers Road when he struck 57-year-old Todd Manos of Constantine.


Manos was pronounced dead at the scene.


Spence says alcohol and speed are believed to be contributing factors in the crash which is still under investigation.


Assisting at the scene were the Centreville-Constantine Police Department, the Constantine Fire Department, the Michigan State Police and Life Care Ambulance.
