GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Some roads on the western side of the state remain slippery and snow-covered as another winter storm moves into Michigan.

The National Weather Service in Grand Rapids says sleet and freezing rain are expected to fall on much of West Michigan into the late morning before temperatures begin to rise.

Authorities have yet to release the names of two women killed Thursday in a head-on crash in Surrey Township. A male driver also was critically injured after one of the vehicles went out of control and hit the other.

The Grand Rapids Press and television stations WOOD, WZZM and WWMT also report that a 17-year-old Zeeland boy was killed when a pickup truck slipped off an icy street and flipped into a water-filled ditch. Another teen was injured.
