CASCADE, Mich. - The Michigan State Police are investigating a wrong-way, head-on crash that occurred just after 1 a.m. Monday morning.
According to MSP, it occurred in the westbound lanes of I-96 near Forest Hill Avenue. An investigation shows that a 2015 Subaru Outback — driven by a 23-year-old Rockford man — was traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes and collided with a 2018 Ford Explorer, drive by a 39-year-old Kentwood man.
As a result, the Explorer overturned and came to rest on the shoulder of the road. The driver of the Outback was not injured and was arrested on scene for operating while intoxicated (OWI).
The driver of the Explorer — as well as the five passengers in the vehicle — were treated and released from the scene for minor injuries. Everyone was wearing their seat belts.
