Spring Lake, MI (January 26, 2022) - A Nunica man suffered life-threatening injuries after being involved in a crash with a flatbed truck in Spring Lake on Tuesday night, January 25. The crash was reported at around 7:07 p.m. at the intersection of 148th Avenue and State Road.
A 27-year-old Coopersville man was reversing an unloaded flatbed truck into a driveway on State Road and blocking the eastbound lane. A silver sedan driven by a 58-year-old Nunica man was headed east when he crashed into the flatbed. The man suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Muskegon.
The area was closed for several hours while emergency responders were present. No additional information has been revealed at this time.
An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is underway.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and his family at this time. We hope for a full recovery.
The majority of freight in the United States is transported by commercial trucks, and these massive vehicles can endanger passengers in passenger cars. According to national accident statistics, smaller vehicle occupants are more likely to suffer life-threatening injuries in the event of a collision. Every year, over 500,000 trucking accidents are reported, resulting in thousands of deaths.
Semi-trucks are involved in a large number of fatal car accidents across the United States, including here in Michigan. Tucking collisions are extremely dangerous, especially when smaller passenger vehicles are involved, as the statistics show. Despite the fact that rig operators are required to prioritize safety, even the most experienced trucker can make a critical error on the road, resulting in a catastrophic 18-wheeler accident.
