HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — A 21-year-old Kentwood man was hurt in a traffic crash just afer 8 p.m. Friday, May 15, 2020, according to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sgt. Nicholas Knott.
Ottawa County Sheriff’s investigators learned that a 2010 Jeep, with a 21-year-old Kentwood man at the wheel, had been headed north on US31 near James Street when he failed to stop for traffic backing up at the intersecton signal.
