WRIGHT TWP, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Aug. 20, 2022) – A 53-year-old Grand Haven man was injured in a three-vehicle pileup near Marne on Saturday afternoon.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Chris Koster, deputies and other first responders were dispatched to eastbound I-96 near 8th Avenue around 4:45 PM. That was where an earlier collision slowed traffic, and a 29-year-old Zeeland woman apparently couldn’t stop in time and hit the vehicle ahead of her, driven by a 50-year-old Grand Haven woman. The first vehicle then careened into the third vehicle, driven by a 48-year-old Scottville man.
The injured man in the second vehicle was taken to Spectrum-Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids for treatment of non-life threatening injuries; the other two drivers, along with three passengers in the third vehicle, were not hurt. No names were disclosed.
Koster added that the freeway was shut down for about an hour as a result of the collision, which remains under investigation.
