Wyoming, MI : Two drivers killed in wrong-way U.S. 131 crash on Thursday, February 23, 2017

Two people killed in a wrong-way crash on U.S. 131 late Thursday have been identified as a 25-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man, both from Grand Rapids.

The woman was driving a 2009 Hyundai Sonata south in the northbound lanes of U.S. 131 when she struck a 2007 Ford Edge head-on just south of 28th Street.

The 27-year-old Grand Rapids man was driving the Ford Edge, state police said.

Police have not released the names of the victims and plan to do a toxicology test on the at-fault driver. Police said they expected to release the names within a couple of days.

The collision happened about 9:50 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23.

Police dispatchers moments earlier had received calls that a car was going the wrong way on the freeway at high speed.

State police Sgt. David Cope at the Rockford post said a third vehicle, headed north, also was involved in the collision. That driver, a 26-year-old Grand Rapids man in a 2002 Chrysler mini-van, was not seriously injured.
