HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – A four-vehicle crash injured two people yesterday afternoon just after 2:30 p.m. at U.S. 31 just south of Riley Street in Holland Township.
According to Sgt. David VanderPloeg of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, traffic was slowing down and stopping due to signal work being done on U.S. 31 between Eighth Street and Quincy Street. 29-year-old Latrya Osborne was unable to stop and collided into a vehicle driven by James Brimhall, 49, of Fennville. Brimhall veered left when he saw that he was going to be struck and the vehicle was stuck in the rear and ran off the roadway, went into the median and overturned.
Osborne’s vehicle then collided into the rear of Alison Rinehart, 36. of New Orleans. The force of the crash propelled the Rinehart vehicle into the back of a vehicle driven by Angela Flores, 25, of Holland. Two backseat passengers in Rinehart’s vehicle, 40-year-old Janelle Rinehart and 1-year-old Abigail Roombas of Chicago, suffered non-life threatening injuries and were transported to Holland Hospital.
No one else was injured in the crash and both the northbound and southbond lanes of U.S. 31 were blocked during the investigation and clean-up.
