TALLMADGE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Deputies say two men have been charged with second-degree murder in a “road rage” crash east of Allendale that killed a 27-year-old woman.
Both 23-year-old Ethan Oosterhouse, of Middleville, and 42-year-old Denis Perez, of Grand Rapids, were arraigned Friday on charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter and reckless driving causing death, according to a release from the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash happened June 25 on Lake Michigan Drive in Tallmadge Township.

Deputies say two eastbound vehicles — a Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by Oosterhouse and a Dodge Charger driven by Perez — “were involved in a ‘road rage’ incident and were driving aggressively, recklessly and speeding while traveling.”
“That driving eventually led to the collision that sent the Dodge Charger across the median,” deputies wrote.
