Clinton Co., MI – Woman Killed in Truck Crash on I-96

Clinton County, MI (June 30, 2024) – A woman lost her life as a result of a fatal accident that occurred in Clinton County. The collision took place on Wednesday, June 26.

Police reports show a 74-year-old woman was traveling in a Chevrolet Cruze on Interstate 96. As she stopped near a construction zone at Grange Road, a semi-truck rear-ended her vehicle at around 1:50 p.m. The force of the collision caused the Chevrolet to strike a 2020 Land Rover. The Land Rover was then pushed into a second semi-truck tractor-trailer, which was driven by a 23-year-old man from Grand Rapids.

The Chevrolet Cruze became crushed between the two semis, and the Land Rover overturned in a ditch. A 62-year-old woman from Rockford was severely injured and rushed to an area hospital. The 74-year-old woman was fatally injured and pronounced deceased by authorities. At this time, the police department is investigating.

Our sympathies go out to the family of the victim killed in this crash. We hope the injured woman recovers quickly.
