HOLLAND (WHTC-AM/FM) — South Haven Area Emergency Services (SHAES) responded to a two-vehicle crash on Blue Star Highway near the Black River bridge in South Haven Township, just after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2019, according to a statement emailed to media.
A box truck flipped on its side, and the driver needed to be extricated by first responders.
Crash investigators found the box truck had been northbound when the driver swerved to avoid another truck pulling a trailer entering the highway. The box truck’s driver lost control of the vehicle after hitting the other truck’s trailer, sliding on its side and spilling a load of heavy metal items.
The driver of the box truck went by SHAES ambulance to Bronson-South Haven Hospital, but the driver’s condition is not known at this time.
