ASHLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Emergency crews shut down part of M-37 in Newaygo County Friday evening after a three-vehicle crash that hurt nine people.
The Newaygo County Sheriff’s Office says M-37 was closed between 128th and 136th in Ashland Township.
Newaygo County Central Dispatch tells FOX 17 that the call came in just after 5 p.m. Friday.
Michigan State Police says troopers responded to the crash on M-37 just south of 128th to find that a 57-year-old man from Grant, driving a pickup truck, rear-ended a car being driven by a 47-year-old woman from Grant.
This caused the car to spin around into the path of a northbound minivan, driven by a 76-year-old man from Muskegon.
The driver of the minivan received minor injuries. He had six passengers in the van at the time of the crash— all six also received minor injuries.
Additionally, the driver of the pickup truck had minor injuries; however, the woman driving the car received serious injuries, according to state police.
