KENT COUNTY, Mich. — Part of M-6 has reopened following a crash in Kent County on Tuesday, which left a 19-year-old driver with fatal injuries.
Michigan State Police (MSP) says a Chevrolet pickup transitioned into the westbound lanes from Broadmoor Avenue and was hit by a box truck.
The impact caused the driver of the pickup to lose control of the vehicle.
Troopers said the 19-year-old pickup driver was hospitalized with critical injuries. The box truck driver sustained minor injuries in the crash.
Westbound M-6 was shut down as a result of the crash, as was the northbound entrance ramp leading there, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).
MSP says the road has since reopened but the crash is still being investigated.
On Wednesday, troopers officially shared with great sadness that the pick-up's 19-year-old driver had passed away.
**It was previously reported that a semitruck was involved in the crash. MSP released a correction saying this was not the case.
