On Thursday, deputies from the Mecosta County Sheriff's Office responded to a two-car crash at the intersection of Northland Dr. and 8 Mile Rd.

The driver from Illinois failed to yield to the right of way entering the intersection, which led to the vehicle traveling east and striking a local resident who was traveling south. The Michigan driver that was hit was transported to Butterworth Hospital for non-life threatening injuries. The Illinois driver was transported to Corewell Health Big Rapids for not life threatening injuries. 

Thanks to Mecosta TWP Fire and Rescue, Mecosta County EMS, and Osceola County EMS for their assistance as well as Weeks' Towing and Curries Towing for clearing the roadway quickly so traffic could resume.
