Allendale, MI (December 31, 2021) – Two people were hurt in an auto accident reported at an intersection in Allendale on the evening of December 30. Police responded to the scene along with paramedics at around 5:30 p.m.
Sources indicate that the crash happened at the intersection of Fillmore Street and 68th Avenue when a 28-year-old Bailey man was headed east on Fillmore. He stopped at a stop sign and attempted to turn onto 68th Street when a 34-year-old Jenison woman headed west on Fillmore hit his vehicle after failing to stop at the stop sign. The woman was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The man from Baily sustained injuries as well, though he refused medical care at the scene.
Nothing further has been reported at this time. Our thoughts are with those involved in hopes of a full recovery.
Michigan Car Crashes
On average, in the state of Michigan, there are over 300,000 car crashes per year. More than 75,000 people sustain injuries in these accidents and over 1,000 are killed. In the winter months, Michigan is the most dangerous state to travel in throughout the United States, even beating out Alaska for the number of fatalities that take place.
Crash victims are often faced with painful and sometimes debilitating injuries. These injuries usually require costly medical treatment that can take up a lot of time. Depending on the severity of the injuries themselves, treatment can last for days, weeks, or months. A lot of time, energy, and money can be spent on recovery from an auto crash, which can feel draining for victims.
Depending on the extent of the injuries, emergency/repeat surgeries may even be required for a successful recovery. These circumstances are not only physically and emotionally difficult to deal with, they can also quickly empty a person’s bank account, leaving them with little to no financial resources. A car crash lawyer in Michigan may be able to help you if you find yourself stuck in a situation like this.
