Report: 7 people hospitalized, 5-year-old critical after head-on crash
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A head-on crash Sunday afternoon in northern Michigan has sent seven people to the hospital including two adults and three children from Grand Rapids. News 8 affiliate UpNorthLive reports the crash happened around 3:30 p.m. Sunday on US-131 near Day Road in Kalkaska County. Investigators with the Kalkaska County Sheriff’s Office say a 19-year-old from Bellaire was heading northbound when they “abruptly” tried to pass a car trying to make a left turn. The driver cut into the southbound lane, striking another SUV head-on. All seven people involved in the crash were taken to Munson Medical Center in Traverse City. Two children, a 7-year-old and a 5-year-old, were eventually transferred to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids for more treatment. The 5-year-old was last listed in critical condition with “life-threatening injuries.” The crash investigation remains open, although police do not believe drugs or alcohol were a factor.
