One person is dead after a grain truck struck a commercial truck head on in Ionia County.

The accident took place on E. Bluewater HWY at S. Hawley Hwy in Ionia County's Boston Township. Deputies were dispatched at 10:32 a.m. Wednesday.

Initial investigation at the scene determined a tandem-trailer grain truck was traveling westbound of E. Bluewater Hwy when a southbound pickup truck pulled into the path of the grain truck.

The grain tuck tried to avoid collision with the pickup truck, and crossed into the eastbound lane of M-21 where it struck a commercial truck head on. This collision caused the death of the other truck driver, 47-year-old Anthony Nunez from Hudsonville.

The female driver of the pickup truck, and her eighteen year old son were transported to the hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
