GEORGETOWN TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Oct. 11, 2022) – An 86-year-old Jenison man apparently escaped serious injury after he struck a motor vehicle with the bicycle he was pedaling north of Hudsonville on Tuesday afternoon.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Michael Tamminga, deputies and other first responders were dispatched to the intersection of 28th Avenue and Port Sheldon Street around 1:50 PM. That was where the bicyclist, who was eastbound along the sidewalk on Port Sheldon, went into the crosswalk on a white pedestrian go signal and ran into the eastbound sedan on his bike, who was attempting to turn south on a green light.
The bicyclist, who was helmeted, sustained minor injuries and was taken to an undisclosed “local” hospital for treatment. The sedan driver, a 60-year-old Hudsonville woman, was also injured, but Tamminga made no mention of her condition.
The incident remains under investigation.
