EGLESTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — What started as police chasing a driver suspected of road rage in Ottawa County turned into a deadly crash in Muskegon County.
The first calls came in just before 1 a.m. Tuesday— a caller in Ottawa County telling dispatchers they believed they were being followed.
Muskegon County Deputies spotted the vehicle and tried to make a traffic stop at Hall Rd and Carr Rd; the suspect instead drove off eastbound.
They drove through the intersection at Maple Island Rd, hitting a vehicle driving north.
The 53 year-old driver of that vehicle— a man from Twin Lake— was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect driver— a 23 year-old from Grand Rapids— was taken to Trinity Hospital for her injuries.
