KENT COUNTY, Mich. — A serious crash closed part of I-96 in Kent County Tuesday morning.

Michigan State Police (MSP) says the crash happened in the westbound lanes between Whitneyville Avenue and Morse Lake.

We’re told all lanes were shut down with traffic redirected at Alden Nash.

MSP tells us an aeromed was called in.

Troopers say a semi truck was stopped for a traffic backup due to construction activity when a Chevrolet Lacrosse rear-ended the semi.

Authorities say three people were hospitalized to be treated for serious injuries sustained in the crash.

The freeway has since reopened to traffic, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.
