     WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP -- A 59-year-old man died this morning after he lost control of his pickup truck on southbound M-53 north of 23 Mile Road.

     Frederic Machleid, a Washington Township resident, was driving a 2001 Ford Ranger about 5:24 a.m. today when the incident occurred, said Macomb County Sheriff's Capt. John Roberts, citing preliminary reports.

     Machleid was wearing a seat belt and alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash, Roberts said.

     Machleid was taken to Henry Ford Macomb Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

     Roads in that area of the crash were icy due to overnight freezing rain. Several crashes were reported on both sides of M-53 from 23 Mile to 30 Mile roads because of the slick road conditions.

     The crash involving Machleid did not appear to involve any other vehicles, Roberts said. The incident remains under investigation.3
