SAUGATUCK, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, May 11, 2023) – Two persons visiting the Lakeshore from Cincinnati lost their lives in a two-vehicle crash in Saugatuck on Thursday morning.
According to Allegan County Sheriff’s Lieutenant John Damveld, deputies and other first responders were dispatched to the Blue Star Highway at North Street shortly after 9 AM. That was where an eastbound SUV apparently drove through a two-way stop sign and was struck by a southbound loaded dump truck.
The driver, a 70-year-old woman, along with a 67-year-old woman in the front seat, were pronounced deceased at the scene by the Allegan County Medical Examiner’s Office. A 71-year-old passenger in the rear seat was taken to an undisclosed “local hospital” for treatment of non-life threatening injuries, while the 26-year-old man driving the truck was not hurt.
No names were immediately disclosed as the collision remains under investigation.
