HOLLAND (WTHC) — A 49-year-old Holland woman is in critical condition after an traffic incident Friday afternoon, according to Holland Police Capt. Bob Buursma.
Police and firefighters were summoned at 3:30 p.m. and found an unconscious woman lying on the side of 40th Street, near Pine Avenue.
She’d been a passenger in a 1994 Chevy pickup driven by her mother, a 67-year-old Holland woman. The truck has been eastbound on 40th Street when its brakes failed, Buursma said, and for “an unknown reason,” the younger woman leapt form the vehicle.
