CADILLAC -- A Tustin man is dead after a Wexford County traffic crash.
Police said Thomas R. Moffit, 54, died when his vehicle, traveling west on M-115 near 48 Road in Clam Lake Township, crossed the center line and struck an oncoming semi truck at about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
M-115 was closed for several hours as authorities cleared the crash scene. The semi's fuel tank was punctured, causing gas to leak on the road.
