Spring Lake, MI (December 25, 2021) - A crash that took place on Christmas day left two people hospitalized in Spring Lake Township.
According to sources, at about 12:05 a.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of a single-vehicle accident with two people trapped on 148th Avenue in the area of Kelly Street.
Upon their arrival, deputies located two people, both from Muskegon, pinned inside a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The 23-year-old male driver had been traveling southbound when he veered off the righthand side of the roadway.
As the Jeep continued through the ditch, it crashed into a raised driveway and became airborne. It then collided with two trees causing the occupants to become trapped inside. Fire crews from Spring Lake Township extricated the driver and his 24-year-old male passenger.
Both men were transported by paramedics to a hospital in Muskegon in serious condition.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
It is not uncommon for a passenger to sustain injuries in a car accident. The AAA Foundation For Traffic Safety reported that the number of passenger injuries and fatalities is actually 50% higher than the rate of driver injuries and fatalities. An extensive study was conducted based on driver age and the rate of deaths and injuries for every 100 million miles driven.
Passenger injury claims can be very complex and are difficult to win due to complex insurance laws. Oftentimes, the driver of the vehicle is the victim’s friend or relative and they are hesitant to file a claim and cause their insurance rates to skyrocket.
