ZEELAND, Mich. — A Zeeland man is in custody after getting into two hit-and-run crashes and later fleeing the scene on foot.
The 61-year-old man man driving a Honda Pilot allegedly failed to stop at a red light going west on I-196 and hit a Jeep heading northbound on Main Street.
The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office police report shows the initial crash happened around 7:40 a.m. on Thursday.
The crash caused the Jeep to roll over and the 46-year-old driver from Coopersville sustained non-life-threatening injuries. He was transported to a hospital for treatment.
After the crash, police say that the Honda Pilot drove away and later ran a red light at Byron Road and 84th Avenue, causing a second crash.
The Honda hit a Suburban who was being driven by a 26-year-old man from Zeeland, who was not injured.
Police say the Honda also drove away from the second crash but was only able to drive a little further before the vehicle became disabled.
The 61-year-old man then got out of the car and left the scene of the second crash on foot.
An Ottawa County Sheriff's Deputy and his K-9 partner tracked the suspect into the City of Zeeland where he was taken into custody.
The 61-year-old man did not suffer any injuries in either of the crashes, according to the report from the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office.
