A single vehicle crash killed one and left another critically injured early Tuesday morning in Grand Rapids, police say. 

The crash happened on northbound US-131 north of the I-196 interchange. Police say little information is available as the crash is currently under investigation. A 2020 Ford F-150 was involved in the crash, and a 15-year-old boy was pronounced dead on scene.

MSP says another occupant of the vehicle, a 15-year-old girl, is currently at an area hospital in critical condition.  

The Michigan Department of Transportation says the crash happened shortly after 3:30 a.m.

Police say poor road conditions due to heavy rain is believed to be a factor.

All lanes of US-131 near I-196 were shut down for several hours before reopening just before 7:30 a.m.

Anyone with information on this crash is asked to contact the Michigan State Police Grand Rapids Post at 616-866-4411.
