GENEVA TOWNSHIP, Mich. — One person is dead after a head-on crash which was started when one vehicle hit a deer.
A 28-year-old man driving a Toyota Camry hit a deer on M-43 near 66th Street in northwestern Van Buren County around 5:10 a.m. on Monday. That impact caused the sedan to go out of control and into on-coming traffic, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The Camry hit a Chevrolet Traverse head-on. The man in the sedan was pronounced dead at the scene.
Deputies say the man was not wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash.
The 36-year-old woman in the SUV was seriously injured, but is expected to survive.
