Slushy roads were a factor in a car accident that sent three people to the hospital in Mecosta County.

Deputies say it happened in Sheridan Township on 30th Ave (M-66) and 17 Mile Rd.

They say a vehicle operated by a 38-year old Lake man was traveling south on 30th when he lost control on the slushy roadway.

The vehicle left the roadway and went down into the ditch.

Three passengers from the vehicle were taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
