Drivers Shaken Up, Roadway Blocked Off After Three-Vehicle Pileup Involving Semi East of Holland

HOLLAND TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Jan. 31, 2023) – A 56-year-old Zeeland woman was injured in a three-vehicle pileup east of Holland on Tuesday morning.

According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Greg Rotman, the woman was driving a southbound minivan on 104^th Avenue around 10:45 AM when her vehicle went into the intersection at Business 196 on a red light and hit an eastbound semi that was going on the green light. The force of the collision caused the truck to lose control, going across the median, and striking an eastbound compact car, driven by a 75-year-old Zeeland man.

The unnamed woman complained of pain after the collision, and after being looked at by AMR Ambulance personnel at the scene, sought her own treatment. So too did the older Zeeland man, while the 49-year-old Muskegon area man driving the semi was not hurt.

It took more than two hours to clear out the roadway, blocking traffic in both directions during the busy midday commute, as the crash remains under investigation.
