LOWELL, Michigan — A crash killed one and shut down a Lowell road in both directions Monday afternoon, the Kent County Sheriff's Office says.
The crash happened around 3 p.m. on Fallasburg Park Road, between Heim Street and Lincoln Lake Avenue. The area is closed while police investigate, and the public was asked to seek an alternate route.
Police say the call originally came in as a vehicle fire, but deputies soon discovered it was a serious crash.
A 16-year-old from Lowell was driving northbound on Fallasburg when she crossed the centerline into the other lane. Her Chevy pickup hit a GMC Envoy head-on and killed 31-year-old Kyle Dedonado from Saranac, police say.
When first responders arrived, the man's car was on fire. They put out the fire and discovered his body inside.
The investigation is still ongoing.
Editor's note: The Kent County Sheriff's Office originally reported the Saranac man's age as 31. It was a clerical error.
