ALLENDALE, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – A student meeting a teacher near Grand Valley State University’s main campus in Allendale is not news. Meeting by an automobile accident is.
That was the case shortly after 12 Noon yesterday when, according to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Chris Dill, 20-year-old Alyssa Wegrecki of Commerce Township, north of Detroit, apparently didn’t see the westbound car of 26-year-old Matthew Larson of Scottville as she tried to pull her car out of a driveway off of Pierce Street between 48th and 52nd Avenues and onto The Lodge Drive. The broadside collision sent Larson, a visiting instructor of finance at GVSU, to North Ottawa Community Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries; Wegrecki was not hurt.
The crash remains under investigation.
