One person was killed when a pickup truck rolled over on eastbound I-196 Monday afternoon in Grand Rapids. The wreck happened just past Lane Avenue shortly after 4:30 p.m. The driver of the truck, a 52-year-old man from Jenison, was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger, a 40-year-old Grand Rapids woman, was taken to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries. Police on the scene stated that both were wearing their seat belts. They say the truck was an older model that was not equipped with air bag, which may have contributed to the fatality. Witnesses said the vehicle’s movement was “erratic” just before the crash.
