MECOSTA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A first incident happened where a car ended up in the median, only harming the car. While an officer was assisting that crashed vehicle, another car crashed into the scene leaving a passenger dead, a Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office official says.

 

At an unknown time, an official for the Sheriff’s Office says a car single crashed into the median on the road northbound on US-131, south of 8 Mile Road. The official says no one was injured in the first crash.

 

Then just after 11:30 p.m. a tow truck was retrieving the first crashed vehicle from the median and a patrol car was on scene. The official says that is when a car lost control on the ice, clipped the front of the patrol car, and crashed into the back of the tow truck.

The car was driven by a 49-year-old woman and the only passenger was a 55-year-old man. Both were from Macomb, Illinois. The driver was transported to Spectrum Health Big Rapids Hospital for non-life threatening injuries. The passenger did not survive the crash.

 

The Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Mecosta County EMS, Mecosta Township Fire/Rescue, Morley Fire/Rescue and the Mecosta County Posse. The crash is still under investigation.
