Two dead in Constantine Township crash

Two Indiana residents died in a semi-versus-car crash last week in Constantine Township.

Michigan State Police troopers were dispatched at 5:40 p.m. Friday to the intersection of U.S. 131 and North River Drive in response to a crash with injuries.

Witnesses told investigators that a passenger car driven by a 22-year-old man from Elkhart was heading east on North River Road and failed to come to a complete stop at the U.S. 131 intersection.

The vehicle crossed into the path of a semi tractor-trailer rig.

Authorities said dash cam recording confirms the incident as described by witnesses and the semi driver.

The 22-year-old man and his 23-year-old female passenger, also from Elkhart, died at the scene, investigators said. Meanwhile, the truck driver – a 40-year-old man from Kent County – was not injured.
