28-year-old Withee man dies in one-vehicle crash June 1 in Taylor County
LITTLE BLACK − A 28-year-old Withee man is dead following a one-vehicle crash Sunday morning in Taylor County. The crash was reported about 6:15 a.m. June 1 on Gibson Drive, north of Stetson Avenue, in the town of Little Black, about 3 miles south of Medford. A caller reported a severely injured man who appeared to have been ejected from a vehicle, according to a news release from the Taylor County Sheriff's Office. Taylor County deputies, along with Medford EMS, Stetsonville First Responders and Stetsonville Fire Department responded to the crash and found a black Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck overturned onto its roof with extensive damage, according to the release. It was in the east ditch of Gibson Drive. A man was located outside of the vehicle and determined to be dead. The deceased man was identified as Eric James Doberstein, 28, of Withee. Doberstein was the driver and only occupant of the vehicle. The preliminary investigation found the Dodge truck was traveling north on Gibson Drive at a high rate of speed and veered into the east ditch, struck a driveway embankment and became airborne. The vehicle then landed in a field where it overturned and landed on its top, according to the release. The Taylor County Sheriff's Office said based on its preliminary investigation, it appears speed and alcohol were factors in the crash. The incident is still being investigated.
