PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Two people were sent to the hospital after a crash on US-131 south of West River Drive Thursday evening.
According to a press release from the Michigan State Police Rockford Post, it happened around 6:45 p.m. in the northbound lanes of US-131.
A 2003 Ford Fusion driven, by a 23-year-old Cedar Springs woman, exited the roadway, struck a guardrail, then spun back into the northbound lanes.
