IONIA COUNTY, Michigan -- A 33-year-old state police trooper critically injured in a July 10 head-on crash near Saranac has died. State police late Friday, July 31, said that Trooper Caleb Starr had died at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital. He was critically injured when a vehicle headed east on Grand River Avenue, west of Nash Highway, crossed the center line and collided with Starr’s westbound cruiser. The crash happened about 10 p.m. About a week after the crash, police said they believed alcohol was a contributing factor on the part of the other driver, a Utah woman who also was critically injured. Starr is survived by his wife, Rachael, and their two daughters, ages 5 and 2. The family lives in Mason. A GoFundMe page established to help the Starr family had raised almost $47,000.
