A woman is dead and a man is recovering in the hospital following a late-night crash.

The Ingham County Sheriff’s Office tell us it happened on Monday, July 1st, just after 10 pm on Zimmer Road, between Linn Road and the i-96 overpass in Wheatfield Township.

A vehicle driven by a 56-year-old Wheatfield Township woman was going south when it crossed into the opposite lane, left the road, and hit a tree.

The woman’s 29-year-old son was on the passenger side.
