On early Sunday morning, a 21-year-old woman, from Grand Rapids, lost her life while another person suffered critical injuries following a multi-vehicle wreck on US-131 in Wyoming.

As per the initial information, officials actively responded to the area of northbound US-131 between 28th Street and Burton Street SW at about 3:15 a.m. after getting reports of a three-vehicle pile-up. The early reports showed that a 2014 Chrysler 200, driven by a 22-year-old Grand Rapids woman, was heading southbound in the northbound lanes when it collided head-on with a 2019 Jetta.

The Jetta was driven by a 21-year-old woman. After that, both vehicles were side-swiped by a tanker-truck that was behind the Jetta in the right lane. On arrival, medical personnel rushed the 21-year-old woman to the hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. The 22-year-old Grand Rapids woman was transported to the hospital with critical injuries.

The driver of the tanker remained unharmed in the accident. The northbound lanes of US-131 were shut down for several hours as crews worked at the scene, but have since reopened. At this time, it is unknown if alcohol or drugs were involved in the accident. No other details are immediately available.

The crash remains under investigation.
