According to the Grand Haven Tribune, an ambulance transported Deborah Spicer to North Ottawa Community Hospital for evaluation following the crash. Officials said that her injuries were not life-threatening.
Emergency crews responded to the crash on Comstock Street west of 160th Avenue at about 7:50 a.m. Friday, April 7.
