JAMESTOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A small child is hurt after a collision between two vehicles in Jamestown Township Monday afternoon.
The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) says the crash happened before 1 p.m. at 24th Avenue and Greenly Street.
We’re told a 36-year-old from Hudsonville traveled west in a 2015 Chrysler Town & Country with two children — aged 3 and 5 — when the driver failed to yield before the intersection.
OCSO says the minivan was hit by a southbound 22-year-old Hudsonville motorist in a Chevrolet Traverse.
The impact caused the 5-year-old to be thrown from the vehicle as both cars came to a stop in the southwest corner, deputies explain.
Authorities say the 5-year-old landed in a ditch underneath the Chevy, later pulled out by first responders. The child was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
No other injuries were reported among the Chrysler’s occupants but the Chevy driver was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, according to OCSO.
Deputies say both children in the Chrysler were properly restrained before the crash.
The incident is currently under investigation.
