POLKTON TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Oct. 19, 2024) – A West Olive couple was hospitalized after a two-vehicle collision north of Coopersville on Saturday morning.
No names were disclosed by Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Matthew Wildfong after then 10:30 AM incident at the intersection of 56th Avenue and Wilson Street. The 56-year-old man driving a SUV eastbound didn’t stop for a stop sign, causing a crash with a southbound pickup truck pulling a utility trailer. The force of the collision caused both vehicles to veer into a ditch.
The apparently at-fault driver and his 62-year-old female passenger were pinned inside of their SUV and had to be extricated by rescue workers. The woman was flown to Corewell-Butterworth Hospital in critical condition, while the man was taken to that Grand Rapids-based medical facility in serious condition. The pickup driver, a 57-year-old Ravenna man, was treated for bumps and bruises at the scene.
The incident remains under investigation.
