Mecosta Twp., MI (December 10, 2023) – Three people were transported to area hospitals with injuries following an automobile accident that took place in Mecosta County. The accident was reported to the Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office during the early morning hours on Sunday, December 10.

According to official reports, a 34-year-old woman was driving north on Northland Avenue. As her vehicle slowed to make a left turn, a 20-year-old driver coming from behind the vehicle attempted to avoid the collision. As a result, she swerved her vehicle and entered oncoming traffic, colliding with a southbound vehicle driven by a 51-year-old man.

All three drivers were injured as a result of the crash. The victims were transported to Corewell Health BR for emergency medical treatment. At this time, investigations surrounding the cause of the crash are underway.

We hope the injured victims recover quickly.
