GRAND HAVEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Officers are investigating after a road rage incident ended in a crash near Grand Haven Monday, injuring two people.
The crash happened around 6:30 p.m. on northbound US-31 at Pierce Street in Grand Haven Township, according to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office. Witnesses told investigators that both vehicles were driving at a high rate of speed when they crashed.
Ottawa County Sheriff deputies said that both drivers got into a road rage incident in Holland Township which continued north to where the crash happened.
The crash involved a 50 year-old Holland man driving a Chevy Uplander was in the right lane and a grey Volkswagen Passat, driven by a 19-year-old Grand Haven man, was in the passing lane. The Uplander swerved into the passing lane in front of the Passat then hit his breaks, causing the Passat to lose control, the release said.
Police said 50-year-old driver of the Uplander and a 20-year-old passenger were taken to the hospital with injuries the sheriff’s office says are not considered life-threatening.
