Posted About Nine Months Ago by Brandon Wirth

On Saturday, Aug. 5 at 10:11 P.M., deputies from the Mecosta County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a two-vehicle injury accident that occurred at the intersection of Perry Ave. and Waldron Way.

A 65-year-old male driver from Big Rapids was traveling South bound on Waldron Way, when he turned East onto Perry Ave. and struck a 18-year-old female driver from Big Rapids traveling West bound. The female driver was transported to Spectrum Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries by family. The male driver had minor injuries and was released on scene.
