Zeeland Township, MI (July 25, 2023) – The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office reports that a Caledonia man was seriously injured in a two-car collision that occurred on Tuesday, July 25, in Zeeland Township.

Police reported the accident on Tuesday at 12:55 p.m. near the intersection of Byron Road and 48th Avenue.

The sheriff’s office reports that a 21-year-old man from Caledonia was driving south in a Honda CRV on 48th Avenue when he stopped at the stop sign before proceeding through the intersection with Byron Road. Shortly thereafter, a 51-year-old Zeeland man behind the wheel of a dump truck and traveling in the westbound direction collided with the first driver.

Both cars veered off the road’s northern shoulder and into a ditch. According to the sheriff’s office, the Honda CRV’s driver is in critical condition after being flown to the hospital by an Aeromed helicopter.
