ALLENDALE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A woman was seriously injured and a man arrested after a crash in Allendale Monday.
It happened around 11:30 p.m. in front of the Allendale Township Fire station on Lake Michigan Drive east of 68th Avenue. The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy happened to be nearby and heard the crash happen, quickly radioing it back to dispatch.
Deputies say witnesses told them an eastbound Honda Civic was going at “very high speeds” before the driver lost control, hit the curb and then crashed into a power pole. The car was split into two pieces.
A passenger, a 25-year-old woman from Grand Rapids, was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries to the face.
The driver, a 25-year-old Grand Rapids man, also needed treatment at the hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening. He was arrested at the scene of the crash, though deputies did not explain in a Tuesday morning release what charges he might face.
