A firearm was located near the driver, said Clarkston Police Chief Joel Hastings.
The man was taken to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The identity of the deceased will be released by the coroner at a later time.
Detectives are actively investigating the incident, the chief said. At this time, there doesn’t appear to be a threat to the public. Clarkston police responded to a call about the incident at 4:35 p.m. Sunday.
