MIDLAND COUNTY, Mich. (WJRT) – A student at Midland High School was killed in a crash Thursday morning.

The crash happened on M-20, just west of South 5 Mile Road in Homer Township, around 6:40 a.m.

According to the Midland County Sheriff’s Office, a 17-year-old girl was driving a Chevrolet Sonic east on M-20 when she lost control on the ice and snow-covered roadway and collided with a Chevrolet Silverado going west on M-20. The pickup truck was being driven by a 41-year-old man from Midland.

The 17-year-old student was pronounced dead at the scene. No other people were in the vehicle at the time.
