TEXAS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A Van Buren County man is dead after crashing his car.

The Kalamazoo County Sheriff's office has indetified the man as 48-year-old Chadd Michael Wood of Lawton.

Authorities say Wood was driving a high-performance sports car and had just left a local restaurant here Texas Corners.

Witnesses say he was driving in the westbound lane of Q Ave. when the car suddenly started to fishtail. The red Dodge Viper went off the road and hit a large tree in its path before wrapping around a second tree and catching fire.

Investigators, during their accident reconstruction will try to determine what led to the driving losing control of the vehicle. They will look into whether or not the high-performance sports car had been souped up. An autopsy will also determine if alcohol may have been a factor.
