HIGGINS TOWNSHIP, MI — Three people were killed in a northern Michigan wrong-way crash Friday morning, Michigan State Police said.

State troopers said the crash happened at 10:10 a.m. on Roscommon Road, near East Robinson Lake Road, in Higgins Township.

The driver of the Kia, and his wife, both 73-year-old Roscommon residents were killed in the crash, police said.

The Prudenville man was taken to Grayling Mercy Hospital, where he died from his injuries, police said.
