An Illinois man died in a single vehicle crash in Mecosta County late Saturday night.

 

It happened on northbound US-131 south of 8 Mile Rd (M-20) in Mecosta Twp. 

 

The Sheriff's Office says another vehicle traveling north lost control on the icy roadway and clipped the front portion of a Sergeant's patrol vehicle.  The vehicle then struck a wrecker that was removing the original PDA vehicle from the median. 

 

The driver was identified as a 49-year old woman from Macomb, IL.  The passenger, a 55-year old man from Macomb, IL was killed in the accident. 

 

The Sergeant was not injured and the patrol vehicle had very minor damage.  The wrecker driver was also not injured. The 49-year old female driver was taken to a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

 

The accident is still under investigation.
