U.S. 131

A 52-year-old man from Mount Pleasant was riding a motorcycle south on U.S. 131 in the left lane, when he somehow lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the guardrail. The man fell to the ground and his motorcycle slid into the roadway. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

Raven was a passenger in a car driven by Herlein, which was northbound on U.S. 131 at about 2:00am. At that time Herlein failed to avoid a semi-truck that was stopped on the roadside because it was disabled, and collided with the truck's rear-end.

A woman was driving an SUV north on U.S. 131 at about 4:00pm when she crossed the center line for an unknown reason and collided with a pickup truck. The woman was found dead at the scene, while two occupants in the pickup truck were injured and transported to the hospital.

At 11:30am, a car containing two people driving north on U.S. 131 lost control on the bridge over the Manistee River, possibly due to ice, and entered the oncoming lane before colliding with another vehicle that was driving south.
