GRAND HAVEN TWP, MI (WHTC) – A Tuesday afternoon crash on US-31 has sent an Muskegon man to the hospital.
Ottawa County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched around 2:40 p.m. to Hayes Street and US-31 on a two vehicle injury accident. Investigation shows that Maurice Smith, 35, of Muskegon was stopped at the red light on northbound US-31 in the inside lane when 18-year old Trey Bledsoe made a last minute lane change that resulted in the crash. Bledsoe’s 2001 Buick struck the rear of Smith’s 2002 GMC Envoy.
Smith was injured and transported to North Ottawa Community Hospital and is listed in stable condition. Sgt. Brian Buter says Bledsoe was cited for failing to stop in an assured cleared distance.
