OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. — The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office is investigating a three-vehicle crash involving several injured victims that happened Saturday afternoon in Tallmadge Township. 

Investigators say shortly after 3 p.m., a Chevrolet Impala was headed East on Lake Michigan Drive near Sessions Drive, and quickly changed lanes to avoid hitting a car that was slowing down with its turn signal on. 

When the Impala veered to the other lane, it hit another eastbound car, which caused it to lose control and cross into the oncoming  traffic, crashing into a GMC pick-up truck that was traveling westbound. 

Four people were transported to several local hospitals, with injuries ranging from minor to critical.  

All four of the victims are reported to be men. One of the cars had a 46-year-old driver with a young passenger. The ages of the other victims were not released.  

Lake Michigan Drive was shut down for several hours following the crash, but was reopened around 6:30 Saturday evening.
