OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. — A rollover crash has left two injured and one lane of eastbound I-96 near mile marker 11 closed, the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office says.

As of 5 p.m., all lanes are now open.

A 2016 Chevy Malibu was heading eastbound, passing a 2017 Ford F150 and merging into the left lane, police say. The Malibu hit the front of the pickup and lost control.

The Malibu then went off the road and rolled several times. The driver, a 17-year-old boy from Coopersville, and his passenger, a 16-year-old girl, were hurt in a non-life-threatening manner. Police reported both teenagers were wearing their seatbelts.

The driver of the pickup, a 45-year-old man from Muskegon, was not injured.

Police cited the driver of the Malibu for making an unsafe lane change.
