HYDE — Two people were killed and one person was injured in a two-vehicle crash Saturday.

At 9:53 a.m. on April 1, the Delta County Sheriff’s Department responded to a personal injury accident with entrapment at the intersection of U.S. 2 and 41 and I Rd. One of the vehicles, which was being driven by Gerald Grenfell, 84, had pulled onto U.S. 2 and 41 into the path of a westbound vehicle.

Gerald was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in the vehicle he was driving, Rosellen Grenfell, 80, died after being flown to U.P. Health System in Marquette. The driver of the westbound vehicle was treated for injuries and released at the scene.
