VAN BUREN COUNTY, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Among the numerous accidents caused by the snow and blowing conditions that were a part of the winter storm that blasted west Michigan this week, the Michigan State Police had two patrol vehicles hit within a matter of hours Thursday I-94, according to Lt. Duwayne Robinson.
The crashes happened near the same location on I-94 by the Hartford exit. In the morning, a trooper was outside of his car when it was hit. He was not injured.
The second happened just a few hours later in the early afternoon and that trooper suffered minor injuries.
Robinson said, “We had a trooper that was in the median conducting stationary patrol when a vehicle driving by lost control and actually ended up crashing into the parked patrol vehicle.”
Most schools are still closed today in Allegan, Van Buren, and Ottawa counties.
