Quincy Man, 75, Dies in Single-Vehicle Crash After Medical EmergencySource: Branch County Sheriff's Office

A tragic incident occurred last Saturday morning when a Quincy man died following a vehicular crash prompted by a medical emergency. The Branch County Sheriff's Office reported that 75-year-old Willard John McCall was pronounced dead at the scene on Strang Road, west of Boone Road, in Quincy Township. WTVBAM detailed that McCall encountered a medical episode while operating his 2011 Lincoln MKZ.

At approximately 8:30 a.m., McCall's vehicle veered off the road and stopped in a nearby ditch. Upon responding to the incident, authorities discovered McCall unresponsive and immediately sought to administer medical care. Despite efforts to promptly render aid, life-saving measures were unsuccessful. "Neither drugs nor alcohol were believed to have been involved and McCall was wearing his seat belt," the sheriff's office said, as cited by WOODTV.

Information sourced from The Daily Reporter indicates that McCall was the sole occupant of the vehicle during the tragic crash. The incident prompted responses from several local emergency services, including the Quincy Fire Department and Lifecare Ambulance, which assisted the sheriff's office at the scene.
