On Saturday, July 6 at approximately 2:00 P.M., both US-131 southbound lanes north of Reed City and exit 153 were closed for nearly two hours due to a serious rollover accident involving an SUV pulling a large travel trailer.  

The investigation revealed the SUV was passing a large motorhome when their travel trailer began swaying back and forth, causing the driver to lose control and rollover onto its side. In result of the crash, traffic was backed up for several miles before the scene could be safely cleared. All lanes of traffic were opened back up at approximately 3:45 p.m.  

Osceola County Sheriff’s Deputies and EMS responded to the scene along with Fire and Rescue crews from Reed City and Lincoln Township. All four occupants in the vehicle, including two small children and a family dog, escaped with only minor injuries and were treated on scene by the responding medical unit.
