The investigation revealed that an 82-year-old woman from Dearborn was turning right on 17 Mile Road, when she changed her mind last minute and turned left. She then hit a camper trailer that was being pulled by a 50-year-old man from Stanton, as the man was attempting to to pass the woman heading north. The 82-year-old woman was transported to Butterworth’s Hospital in Grand Rapids for non-life threatening injuries. The 50-year-old man was not injured in the crash.
Deputies were assisted by Meceola Dispatch, Barryton Village Police, Fork Township Rescue, Barryton Fire/Rescue, and Huff's Towing.
