GRAND HAVEN, Mich. — A Norton Shores woman was taken into Grand Haven Department of Public Safety's custody after crashing into a police car.
Ottawa County Sheriff's Department was responding to reports of a wrong-way driver on US-31 over the Grand Haven Drawbridge at 3:40 a.m. Grand Haven Public Safety reported the car after seeing it traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of Beacon Boulevard in Grand Haven City.
The Sheriff's Office says a deputy attempted to deploy a spike strip on US-31 in order to stop the driver, but the car veered into and collided with his parked police cruiser. The car eventually stopped in the middle of the southbound lanes.
The police cruiser is totaled, deputies say.
The driver of the car is now facing traffic charges related to the incident. The driver and the deputy were both uninjured, and no other vehicles or passengers were involved.
Southbound US-31 lanes were temporarily closed while investigating and cleanup was underway. Anyone with more information about the driver or the crash is being asked to contact the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office or Silent Observer.
