On Friday, September 27 at 3:03 P.M., deputies from the Mecosta County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to Perry Avenue at the intersection of Waldron Way for a two vehicle accident.

The investigation showed that a 38-year-old male from Rockford was traveling eastbound through the intersection, when a 68-year-old female from Scottville failed to yield the right of way to the male while attempting to turn southbound from Perry Avenue. The male and female then collided before striking a guide wire to a traffic signal pole. 

The male and female were transported to the Big Rapids Corewell Health Hospital for minor non life-threatening injuries. Deputies were assisted by Meceola Central Dispatch, Mecosta EMS, Big Rapids City and Big Rapids Township Fire, Ferris State University Police, Michigan State Police, Mecosta County Posse, and Michigan Department of Transportation.
