TALLMADGE TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Nov. 5, 2022) – Five persons were injured in a three-vehicle pileup between Allendale and Standale on Saturday afternoon.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Nicholas Knott, a eastbound sedan on Lake Michigan Drive (M-45) tried to make a sudden lane change near Sessions Drive, about a half mile before the Kent County line, around 3 PM. The move was necessitated by the driver apparently not noticing a vehicle ahead with a turn signal on, and in the process, the secaan struck a second eastbound vehicle.
The sedan lost control and veered into a westbound pickup truck. The drivers and passengers in these two vehicles were hospitalized for injuries ranging from minor to critical, and Lake Michigan Drive had to be closed off for several hours as a result.
Knott disclosed no names as the incident remains under investigation.
