GRAND HAVEN, MICH. - The northbound lanes of U.S. 31 are closed to traffic at Robbins Road as crews respond to a fatal crash involving a motorcycle.

A man and woman in their 60s rear-ended a pickup truck around 11:45 a.m. Tuesday, June 21, at Robbins Road, a deputy told WZZM 13's Alex Shabad. The couple is from Louisiana.

The woman was killed in the crash, and the man is expected to be OK with non-life-threatening injuries. Both were not wearing helmets.

Police say the motorcycle was heading north on U.S. 31 when its riders switched lanes and hit the rear of a pickup truck as traffic was starting to back up.

Traffic is being diverted at Comstock Street while police investigate the crash.

This is a developing story.
