TALLMADGE TWP. — The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office says two people— including a 9-year-old boy—were hospitalized after a crash in Tallmadge Township.
The crash happened just after 7:00 Saturday night at 8th Avenue and Johnson Street.
Investigators say a 20-year-old Rockford man was driving east on Johnson Street when he stopped at a stop sign on 8th Avenue. The man started to cross the street but didn't yield to a Dodge Caravan driving north, who did not have a stop sign.
The cars crashed into each other before hitting a utility pole. The crash brought down the pole and power lines, blocking the intersection.
The driver of the Caravan, a 34-year-old Coopersville woman, as well as a 9-year-old boy were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.
The 20-year-old Rockford man was not hospitalized, nor was his passenger.
The intersection was shut down for a few hours.
The Ottawa County Sheriff's office is investigating the crash.
