PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Authorities are investigating whether the driver who crashed his pickup truck into an elementary school north of Grand Rapids Wednesday night may have been drinking.
The crash happened at North Oakview Elementary, which is part of Northview Public Schools, in Plainfield Township. The Kent County Sheriff’s Department told 24 Hour News 8 that a truck ran off Costa Avenue NE, which dead-ends at the school, into the building.
The truck plowed into the school and came to a stop only after it was completely inside a classroom, leaving a large hole in the wall. No one was in the classroom at the time, though school officials were there later to assess the damage.
