ZEELAND TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, July 25, 2023) – A 21-year-old Caledonia man was hospitalized after a collision between a SUV and a dump truck east of Zeeland on Tuesday afternoon.
No names were disclosed by Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Jeff Steigenga in the crash at the intersection of 48th Avenue and Byron Road shortly before 1 PM. That was where the unnamed motorist, who was driving southbound, had stopped for a stop sign but then pulled in front of the westbound truck, causing a collision that sent both vehicles into a ditch.
The SUV driver was flown to Corewell Health-Butterworth Hospital in serious condition, while the truck driver, a 51-year-old Zeeland man, was reportedly hurt as well, although Steigenga didn’t disclosed the extent of his injuries.
The junction remained closed for several hours following the incident, which remains under investigation.
