OSHTEMO TOWNSHIP, Mich. - One person is dead after a crash in Kalamazoo County Thursday morning.

The crash happened on M-43 and 6th Street in Oshtemo Township.

Undersheriff Paul Matyas tells FOX 17 that a woman driving a PT Cruiser was in the right lane passing a pickup truck when she  lost control of her vehicle. Her vehicle went sideways and was struck by the truck.

Kelli Roberts, 57, of Gobles, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the pickup truck was not injured.

Matyas says that speed appears to have been a factor in the crash.
