Micah P. Anderson, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was killed in a single-vehicle crash that occurred in Oak Bluffs around 12:49 a.m. on Wednesday, June 22, Massachusetts State Police said. 

His passenger, a 46-year-old man from Spencer in Worcester County, was airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston with serious injuries, according to police. 

Initial investigation revealed Anderson failed to negotiate a turn, went off road, struck a guardrail, entered a yard and struck two trees in the area of East Chop Drive and Temahigan Avenue, police said. Investigators also believe excessive speed was a factor in the crash.
