Ingham County Sheriff's Office Investigating Fatal Crash

INGHAM COUNTY, Mich. — A woman is dead and a man is recovering in the hospital after a late-night crash.

The Ingham County Sheriff's Office tells us this happened on Monday, July 1, just after 10 p.m. on Zimmer Road, between Linn Road and the I-96 overpass in Wheatfield Township.

A vehicle driven by a 56-year-old woman from Wheatfield Township was traveling southbound when it crossed into the oncoming lane, left the roadway and struck a tree.

The woman's 29-year-old son was in the passenger seat.
