An Escanaba man was killed in a traffic crash Sunday afternoon in Gladstone.
Delta County Sheriff’s deputies responded just after noon to US-2, just south of South Hill Road.
They found that two pick-up trucks had collided head-on.
Investigators say one of the trucks, driven by 81-year-old Kenneth Arnold of Cornell, apparently had a tire blow out. That caused the truck to cross the median into oncoming traffic, where it hit the other truck.
The driver of the other truck, 55-year-old Michael Englund of Escanaba, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Arnold was airlifted to UP Health System-Marquette. His condition has not been released.
An investigation continues.
