2 hurt, 1 in ICU after Waverly Township collision

WAVERLY TOWNSHIP, Mich. โ€” Two people are injured after a collision at a Waverly Township intersection Monday morning.

The Van Buren County Sheriff's Office (VBCSO) says the crash occurred before 11 a.m. at M-40 and M-43.

We're told an officer was on scene monitoring traffic violations after several recent crashes when a black pickup truck was heading south on M-40. The light was green as he approached the intersection.

Deputies say a Pontiac Torrent turned west on M-43 without yielding to the truck, causing the truck to crash into the Torrent.

VBCSO says the 22-year-old passenger of the Pontiac was taken to the Bronson Hospital Intensive Care Unit.

The passenger in the van, described as a 28-year-old Allegan woman, refused treatment at the scene and checked herself into a nearby hospital.

The driver of the Pontiac, a 21-year-old Bangor man, had no license or insurance, authorities say. He faces charges for the incident, pending review by the Van Buren County Prosecutor's Office.

VBCSO credits the Paw Paw Fire Department, Paw Paw Quick Response and Van Buren EMS for their assistance.

Those with knowledge related to the crash are asked to contact deputies at 269-657-3101 or Silent Observer at 269-343-2100.
