A Grattan man was sent to the hospital Wednesday, September 17, after a Grand Rapids woman ran a stop sign in Solon Township and t-boned his vehicle.
According to Kent County Sheriff Deputy Jason VanDyke, the 54-year-old Grattan man was headed westbound on 20 Mile late Wednesday morning, when the Grand Rapids woman, who was headed north on White Creek to visit relatives, failed to stop at the stop sign at 20 Mile and crashed into the Grattan man’s pickup truck. The truck rolled and landed on its roof. Both vehicles ended up on the northwest corner of the intersection.

The driver of the pickup was injured when his vehicle was struck and then rolled.
The Grattan man suffered left shoulder and facial injuries, and was taken to the hospital by Rockford ambulance. The woman complained of pain in her lower extremities and went to the hospital with family.
Solon Township Fire and Rescue assisted the victims at the scene.
