ZEELAND TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Nov. 16, 2022) – Two persons were injured when attempting to flee the long arm of the law east of Zeeland during the overnight hours on Wednesday morning.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Jon Smoes, a prowl car attempted to pull over a SUV on 56th Avenue near Byron Road around 1:30 AM. The northbound vehicle sped up instead of slowing down, and in the resulting police chase, the SUV lost control as the roadway turned from pavement to gravel, veered into a ditch and rolled over onto a field. The driver and a passenger, neither of whom were buckled up, were seriously injured and taken to separate, unnamed hospitals for treatment.
Smoes didn’t immedately disclose many other details about the incident pending a further investigation, which is ongoing.
