GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Two drivers were injured after a crash occurred on I-96 near the on-ramp from southbound US-131 just before 9 a.m. Wednesday morning.
According to the Michigan State Police, an investigation shows that a 2005 Dodge Stratus, driven by a 19-year-old Big Rapids woman, lost control of her vehicle on the ramp from southbound US-131 to westbound I-96 in Walker. The vehicle slid from the end of the ramp and into the path of a 2018 Ram pickup truck driven by a 44-year-old Zeeland man traveling west on I-96.
After the collision, both vehicles left the roadway on the left side. The driver of the Stratus had to be extricated from the vehicle due to crash damage.
