KENT COUNTY, MI – Sheriff’s deputies identified Misty Rackow, 29, of Allendale Township, as the victim of a three-vehicle crash.

Another driver was seriously injured.

The crash happened just after 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, on 76th Street SW near Indigo Ridge Avenue.

The driver of the pickup truck, a 36-year-old Wyoming man, suffered serious injuries, police said.
