HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. - One person was critically hurt in a three-car crash in Holland Township Tuesday morning.

Deputies say that Antonio Chavez, 57, was eastbound on Chicago Drive when he stopped.  He was rear-ended by another vehicle and pushed into the path of an oncoming semi-truck.

Chavez was pinned in his vehicle and had to extricated and then flown to Spectrum Hospital in Grand Rapids.  He suffered critical injuries.

The passenger in his vehicle, a 17-year-old, the driver of the vehicle that hit him, a 37-year-old Holland woman, and the truck driver, a 38-year-old Fennville man were all treated for non-life threatening injuries.
