ALLENDALE TOWNSHIP, MI (WHTC AM/FM) — The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a multi-vehicle crash in Allendale Township most likely caused by hydroplaning.
Deputies responded to the incident around 12:09 a.m. Sunday, August 14, at northbound 48th Avenue south of Pierce Street.
On-scene investigation revealed that a 24-year-old Clarkston resident was traveling south on 48th Avenue in a 2016 Chrysler when they began to hydroplane due to heavy rain in the area.
The 2016 Chrysler then lost control and crossed the median striking a northbound 2020 Honda head on, which was driven by a 24-year-old Grand Rapids resident.
Both the driver and passenger of the Honda were transported to Spectrum Hospital by Life Ambulance with serious injuries, causing northbound 48th Avenue to be shut down for a period of time while the crash was investigated.
