CONSTANTINE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Two people from Indiana were killed when their vehicle was hit by a semi in Constantine Township Friday evening.

Around 5:40 p.m., troopers with the Michigan State Police were sent to the area of US-131 and N. River Drive for a crash.

The driver of the semi, a 40-year-old Walker man, was not hurt.

It’s unknown if alcohol and drugs were factors for the two from Indiana, MSP said. Alcohol and drugs are not suspected factors for the semi truck driver.

The crash remains under investigation.
