KALKASKA TOWNSHIP -- Icy conditions and high speeds are to blame for a fatal three car accident in Kalkaska Township.

The crash happened Saturday Morning on M-72 at Rapid City Road.

Investigators say the driver who caused the accident was driving too fast, lost control and slid into the east bound lane, causing a three-car-pileup.

The driver who was traveling too fast was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other drivers were treated for minor injuries.

The Kalkaska Accident Investigation Team is continuing the investigation.
