HOLLAND TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Nov. 15, 2022) – A two-vehicle crash snarled Tuesday morning commute traffic on Holland’s North Side.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Matthew Wildfong, deputies and first responders were dispatched around 5 AM to the intersection of Riley Street and 112th Avenue. That was where a southbound sedan, driven by a 30-year-old man, drove through a red light and collided with an eastbound sedan, driven by a 35-year-old woman. The force of the collision caused the two vehicles to careen into a nearby utility pole, breaking it in two, and that brought down the traffic signals into the intersection.
While both drivers were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, and the man was cited for failing to stop for the red light, Holland BPW crews had to be called in to replace the utility pole, and the intersection west of the Zeeland High School campus was closed for several hours as a result.
