GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A man has been charged in a Kent County fatal crash.
Robert Verdier, 30, was charged with operating while intoxicated causing death and a third driving while intoxicated offense.
The two-car crash happened around 8:10 p.m. May 28 at the intersection of M-37 and 10 Mile Road in Alpine Township, south of Sparta.

Verdier’s next court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 19.
