Two accidents that occurred at roughly the same time near the intersection of Beeline Rd. and Lakewood Blvd. sent three people to the hospital, including a bicyclist and an Ottawa County Sheriff Deputy.
According to Sgt. Brent Vanderploeg, deputies were dispatched to an accident involving 17-year-old Holland resident Lauren Jongearyg and 28-year-old John Cook, of Hudsonville. Cook was on a bicycle at the time of the accident. The crash occurred at 12:43 p.m. on July 20.
A Sheriff Deputy was on his way to respond to the intial accident when he was struck by a 29-year-old Holland woman. The woman was trying to re-route away from Lakewood Blvd. to avoid the traffic caused by the first crash.
The bicyclist, the sheriff deputy, and the woman who hit the deputy all received injuries from the crash and were treated at Holland Hospital.
