ORANGE TWP., Mich. (WILX) - One person has died after a four-vehicle crash on Tuesday in Ionia County. The crash happened on the westbound side of I-96 near Sunfield Highway in Orange Township.

According to a preliminary investigation, a semi-tractor-trailer hit an SUV in an area where traffic was merging into one lane. The initial impact of the crash caused the SUV to leave the roadway. The semi-truck’s momentum carried the truck into hitting a second SUV, which was pushed forward in between two other semi-trucks, pinning the SUV.

One person was declared dead at the scene. Two other people were taken to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing with serious injuries. It is unclear which persons were in what vehicle.

The accident remains under investigation.
