Names released in fatal M-35 crash
GWINN — The Forsyth Township Police Department released the two names of those killed in the multiple-vehicle crash that occurred Friday afternoon on M-35 in Forsyth Township.
Both drivers were killed in the accident and were identified as 21-year-old Negaunee resident Luke Matthew Kostreva; and 37-year-old Gwinn resident Jacob Kris Haralson.
“The cause of the accident remains under investigation,” the Forsyth Township Police Department said in a press release. “The three Gwinn teens injured in Friday’s fatal accident on M-35 remain hospitalized and are recovering from their injuries.”
Two of the three teens are facing critical injuries, but are all on their way to recovery.
The three injured all have fundraisers set up to help alleviate financial burdens from their medical care. So far, nearly $50,000 of the $64,000 total goal has been donated in the two days since the creation of the fundraisers.
