OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. — An overnight crash involving two semi trucks and a tractor has left one man in serious condition.

A tractor pulling a manure spreader was traveling north on 80th Avenue when it was hit by a semi truck also traveling north. The semi truck jackknifed and caused the tractor to veer into the southbound lane, where it was hit by a southbound semi truck.

The driver of the jackknifed semi, a 64-year-old Coopersville man, had to be extricated from the vehicle. He was taken to a hospital in serious condition.

The driver of the southbound semi and the tractor were examined at the scene and released.

A portion of 80th Avenue was closed for several hours for investigation and cleanup. It has since reopened.

This crash remains under investigation.
