MECOSTA COUNTY, Mich. — A driver was injured when a mechanical issue led to a vehicle flipping over twice Saturday morning on U.S. 131.
At 10:22 a.m. Saturday, the Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a one-vehicle rollover on northbound U.S. 131 near Eight Mile Road. Upon arriving at the scene, deputies found that a 27-year-old woman from Grand Rapids who had been driving the vehicle had been injured.
She was transported by ambulance to Spectrum Health Big Rapids Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The investigation showed that the woman had been driving northbound on 131 when her vehicle experienced a mechanical issue and she lost control of the steering. The vehicle then flipped over twice before coming to rest on its side in the middle of the highway.
