Reports indicate a 2007 Chevy Impala was traveling eastbound on Walnut Lake at what appeared to be a high rate of speed, when the driver failed to stop for the red light at Franklin and continued into a series of trees.

The driver, a 68-year-old West Bloomfield man, was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. 

A cause of the crash remains under investigation.
