2 Dead In Crash Involving Wrong-Way Driver In West Michigan

GRAND RAPIDS (AP) — Authorities say a head-on crash involving a wrong-way driver in western Michigan has left two people dead.

The crash happened late Monday along northbound U.S. highway 131 in Grand Rapids. State police say a vehicle driven by a woman was heading southbound in the northbound lanes when it collided with a vehicle driven by a man that was going the correct direction on the highway.

State police say both drivers were pronounced dead. Names weren't immediately released. No one else was in the vehicles and no other vehicles were involved.

The highway was closed for several hours following the crash, but reopened early Tuesday. The crash is under investigation.
