HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – Ottawa County Deputies were dispatched to a two-vehicle crash at 8th Avenue and Lake Michigan Drive in Tallmadge Township Saturday.
According to Sgt. Jay Douglas of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, Victor Hasbany, 18, of Grand Rapids was westbound on Lake Michigan Drive at 8th Avenue as Simon Johnston, 36, of Hudsonville was eastbound waiting to turn. Johnson completed his turn after the light had turned red and he believed the westbound traffic had stopped. Hasbany stated he did not think he could stop in time for the red light and went into the intersection and struck Johnston.
Angel Schareneroch, 31, of Allendale, a front-seat passenger in Johnston’s vehicle, was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The crash remains under investigation. All passengers were wearing seat belts.
Alcohol use was not a factor in the crash.
