HOLLAND, Mich. (WZZM) -- Big Lake Brewing in Holland has signed a deal to distribute its beer statewide.

Our partner the Grand Rapids Business Journal reports the brewery has teamed up with Kalamazoo-based Imperial Beverage.

Initially, Big Lake will send cans and kegs of two of its beers into the state market, the Rye-Coe and the Darkstar.

Right now, the Holland company self-distributes five of its beers in Kent and Ottawa Counties.

Big Lake Brewing opened more than two years ago.

HOLLAND, Mich. (WZZM) -- A man died in a head-on crash on I-196 in Holland Friday afternoon.

Just before 4:30, Holland Department of Public Safety officers were called to I-196 near milemarker 47.

When they arrived, they found a 2012 Ford Escape with heavy front-end damage in the median and a 1991 Freightliner semi truck in the ditch along the freeway's north side.

Investigators say the man who died, Prashamth Kumar Muchumarri, 41, from Grand Rapids, had been driving the Escape eastbound when his vehicle left the freeway, went into the median, and crossed into the westbound lanes -- hitting the semi head-on. The Escape's driver was ejected and was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities aren't yet releasing his name, pending family notification.

The semi's driver, a 43-year-old Kalkaska man, was not hurt.

ALLEGAN, Mich. (WZZM) -- A parolee wanted for attacking a woman in her garage has been charged with several felonies stemming from the late September assault southeast of Holland.

Christopher Lee Allen, 29, was arrested by Allegan County Sheriff’s deputies while investigating a report of a suspicious vehicle in the woman’s Manlius Township neighborhood.

While being held on unrelated charges, investigators were able to connect him with the Sept. 29 assault.

Allen was arraigned last week in Allegan District Court on sexual assault charges and for breaking and entering. He’ll be back in court Jan. 21 for a probable cause hearing.
