Weekend single-vehicle crash takes life of Bagley man
On Saturday, July 2, at approximately 4:12 a.m., the Grant County Sheriff`s Office Communications Center was notified of a one vehicle crash on Ready Hollow Road near Gifford Lane in Wyalusing Township.
It was reported there was one occupant trapped in the vehicle and the occupant appeared to be deceased. Upon further investigation, it was determined that Erasmo Gonzalez, age 28, Bagley, was southbound on Ready Hollow Road in a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am. It appears as if Erasmo failed to negotiate a turn and left the roadway on the south side.
After leaving the roadway, the Gonzalez vehicle turned sideways down a steep embankment thus going air-born and striking two trees with the roof of the vehicle before coming to rest on its wheels in the ditch. Erasmo was pronounced dead at the scene. West Grant EMS, Bloomington Fire and JAWS Unit, Bagley First Responders, and B+M Towing assisted at the scene. The case remains under investigation.
