Grand Rapids, MI (December 17, 2023) – A wrong-way driver caused a severe accident that sent multiple people to area hospitals with injuries early Saturday morning, December 16. Calls for assistance came in at around 2:15 a.m.

Michigan State Police officers from the sixth district responded to the scene of the accident, which occurred on US Highway 131. Investigations confirmed that a 25-year-old woman was traveling north on the southbound side of US Highway 131 when her vehicle collided with two additional vehicles near Market. Three people were injured as a result of the crash. The victims were transported to area hospitals for emergency care. At this time, investigations into the accident are ongoing.

Car Accidents in Michigan

Physical and emotional injuries from motor vehicle accidents can seem incredibly unbearable. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of vehicle collisions resulting in injuries are reported every year in Michigan. In many instances, people are harmed in accidents due to the negligent and reckless actions of other motorists. When drivers share the road with negligent drivers, they can have deadly consequences for them.

Regrettably, no matter how safe you are while operating your vehicle, you can never predict how another driver will operate theirs. As a result, we see countless instances where people are hurt in accidents caused by drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, or otherwise negligent while behind the wheel.
