A head-on crash killed Eric Michael Helm, 18, of Jenison Tuesday morning.
Helm was headed westbound on Port Sheldon Street around 7:30 a.m. between 36th Avenue and 40th Avenue near Hudsonville when his vehicle crossed the center line on a curve and hit a vehicle head-on. The second vehicle was driven by Joel William Brouwer, 46, of Hudsonville. Helm was declared dead at the scene; Brouwer was taken to Metro Health in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.
Jenison Public Schools Superintendent told FOX 17 News that Helm had recently filled out an application for Western Michigan University. Remarks from the superintendent will be available on FOX 17 News at Six.
Port Sheldon Street was closed most of the morning to allow for a landing zone for Aeromed and then for crash investigation.
