Traffic accident kills 3 on U.S. 127 in Clinton Co.

A couple from Elsie and a Lansing man have been identified following a two-car crash on U.S. 127 north of Lansing that killed all three people.


Police say 55-year-old Larry Salzwedel and his wife, 48-year-old Wilda Salzwedel, were in the Chevrolet Silverado Tuesday afternoon that crossed the median and slammed into a van heading southbound on U.S. 127 in DeWitt Township.


DeWitt Township Police Chief Brian Russell tells the Lansing State Journal (http://on.lsj.com/SBd0VA) that 68-year-old Robert Cooley of Lansing was the driver of the van who was killed.


Both vehicles ended up in a ditch alongside the freeway.


Russell says police do not know why Larry Salzwedel left the roadway, and may not know for weeks. Alcohol or drugs do not appear to be factors.


An investigation is ongoing.
