Zeeland, MI (September 26, 2023) - On Tuesday morning, shortly before dawn, there was an accident between Zeeland and Jamestown that left two people hurt.

Deputies and other emergency personnel were called to the intersection of Byron Road and 48th Avenue in Ottawa County at around 6:45 a.m., according to Ottawa County Sheriff's Sergeant Chris Dill. A 21-year-old woman from Hamilton was driving a sedan south when she was reportedly hit by a pickup truck driven by a 29-year-old male from Kalamazoo, who was traveling west.

The male driver sustained a minor head injury and was transferred to the University of Michigan Health West in Wyoming. The woman was also transferred to the same hospital, where she is being treated for serious injuries.

The accident remains under investigation, and Byron Road remained closed for several hours while Ottawa County deputies investigated.

Our thoughts go out to the injured victims and their families.
