KALKASKA -- State police identified the victims of a fatal traffic crash in Kalkaska County.

Mikayla Gray, 11, and her sister Kendra Gray, 9, both of South Boardman, died Thursday when a vehicle driven by their mother, Patricia Mensinger, 29, east on Boardman Road struck a vehicle heading north on M-66, said Trooper Jim Abel of the state police Kalkaska post.

A third child, Troy Gray, 10, remains in serious but stable condition at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, Abel said.
