JAMESTOWN TWP, MI (WHTC) – A 37-year-old Byron Center man is dead after a head-on crash in Jamestown Township on Wednesday, September 21.

Lubbers then struck Jason Alexander who was driving a 2003 Chrysler minivan head on in the crash. Alexander was wearing a seatbelt pronounced dead at the scene.
