A driver who was killed in a Grand Rapids accident on February 19 has now been identified by the police. According to the details shared by the Grand Rapids police department, the victim has been identified as Kayla Marie Williams.
The accident took place in the early hours of Wednesday. Kayla Marie Williams was driving a Chevrolet Impala and was headed southbound. At the intersection of the Fairfield Avenue and the Lake Michigan Drive, Williams’ Impala somehow drifted into the center lane and then came into a head-on collision with another vehicle in the oncoming lane.
The other vehicle involved in the head-on collision was a GMC Acadia. A 60-year-old woman from Grand Rapids was driving the vehicle at the time. As Williams’ Impala and the Acadia collided, a Rapid bus in the oncoming lane also crashed into the Acadia. Both Williams and the Acadia driver were critically injured in the accident.
Williams died from her injuries and was pronounced dead at the spot. The Acadia driver was rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries where she remains under treatment. The driver of the Rapid bus sustained only minor injuries and the passengers on board the bus remained safe.
Williams also had a 5-year-old child in the back seat at the time of the collision. The child received medical treatment and is believed to be alright.
In the wake of the crash, the road remained closed for nearly three hours. At this moment, the cause of the accident is still unclear and the police are investigating the accident.
