On September 14 at 12:42 P.M., deputies from the Mecosta County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a three-vehicle crash on Northland Drive and Lincoln Road.

The investigation found that a 53-year-old female from Stanwood was southbound and stopped waiting to turn left onto Lincoln Road. The second vehicle, driven by a 45-year-old male from Big Rapids, was stopped behind her. A third vehicle, driven by an 18-year-old male from Stanwood, stated he did not see the other vehicles stopped and rear ended the second vehicle, pushing it into the first one.

The 18-year-old driver and a 46-year-old female passenger in the second vehicle sustained non-life-threatening injuries in the accident and received medical care at Corwell Big Rapids Hospital.

Deputies were assisted by Mecosta Twp Fire/Rescue and Mecosta County EMS Units.
