Vehicle(s) Involved: Chevy Cobalt, Dodge Dakota
"A crash at the intersection of Russell and Riley-Thompson roads in Muskegon County's Dalton Township shortly after 11 a.m. Monday sent three people to Mercy General Health Partners' Hackley Campus, police said.
The extent of the three crash victims' injuries was not immediately available.
Muskegon County Sheriff Dean Roesler said the crash occurred when a young Detroit-area man driving a Chevy Impala north on Russell turned left on Riley-Thompson, into the path of a southbound Dodge Dakota pickup truck driven by a Muskegon-area woman.
The Muskegon-area woman was alone in her vehicle. The Detroit-area man had a young female passenger, also from the Detroit area, in the vehicle with him. All three were transported to the hospital, Roesler said.
The crash tied up traffic — presumably much of it headed for Michigan's Adventure Amusement Park, which is two miles west of the accident scene. The amusement park opens at 11 a.m.
Police blocked off traffic headed north on Russell. Vehicles exiting U.S. 31 and headed north were diverted to another route.
The intersection of Russell and Riley-Thompson is marked with a full stoplight.
Roesler said authorities this morning were trying to locate witnesses to the accident. They thought that someone, possibly a doctor or nurse, had stopped to check on the crash victims, then left as emergency medical personnel arrived. Roesler said authorities would like to talk to that person, or any other people who may have seen the crash.
Anyone with information is asked to call Deputy Kendall Jeppesen at 724-7114."
