VALLEY TOWNSHIP, MI (WHTC) – An Allegan County deputy with the Sheriff’s Office was involved in a crash Friday morning.
Captain Chris Kuhn says that around 3:50 a.m. Friday morning the officer was northbound on M40 when his vehicle left the right side of the roadway and struck the end of a guardrail. It then went into the ditch next to the guardrail and struck several smaller trees causing extensive damage to the vehicle.
The officer was wearing his seatbelt and airbags were deployed leaving the officer with no injuries. The officer was sent to a local hospital to be checked over, but was released a short time later. He is home resting and the Sheriff’s Office is waiting for a cause determination before any further action is taken.
The crash shut down M-40 for more than two hours between M-89 and 122nd Avenue just north of Allegan.
