ADA TOWNSHIP, Mich. — State troopers are investigating a fatal crash that occurred at an Ada Township intersection Tuesday morning.

Michigan State Police (MSP) says the crash involved three vehicles on Spaulding Avenue and M-21.

We’re told a dump truck driver disregarded a red light while approaching the intersection, hitting two cars that were attempting to turn onto Spaulding Avenue.

One of the drivers that were hit, described as a 65-year-old Ada man, died in the crash, MSP says. All other individuals in the crash were unharmed.

The crash is currently under investigation.

The eastbound lanes on M-21 were closed for several hours after the crash but has since reopened, troopers say.
