OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. — A Jeep full of teenagers and a baby was involved in a crash with a gravel truck Wednesday afternoon, the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office said.
Around 12:30 p.m., law enforcement responded to a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Jackson Street and 22nd Avenue in Georgetown Township.
Investigators believe a 17-year-old from Wyoming was driving a Jeep with passengers: a 13-year-old front seat passenger, a 15-year-old back seat passenger, a 14-year-old back seat passenger and a 22-month-old baby in the back seat.
Authorities said the Jeep disregarded the stop sign, and pulled out into the path of a gravel truck.
Deputies pulled the passengers out of the Jeep, which had caught on fire.
The sheriff's office said one of the teen passengers inside the Jeep died on the scene. The Jeep's driver and three other passengers were taken to a local hospital with injuries ranging from serious to critical.
The driver was last listed in serious but stable condition, while the front seat passenger and the baby are in critical condition. The 15-year-old passenger remains hospitalized.
The truck's driver wasn't hurt.
The intersection of Jackson Street and 22nd Avenue was closed while the Sheriff's Office continues the investigation. It has since reopened.
