On Friday, a 78-year-old Fruitport man and an 84-year-old Spring Lake man suffered injuries after a two-vehicle accident near Spring Lake High School.
The incident took place shortly before 3 p.m. on Leonard Street at 148th Avenue. The early reports indicated that a school bus was traveling east on Leonard Street when the driver of a southbound 2013 Ford Escape pulled out from a stop sign at 148th Avenue.
Just then, both vehicles crashed into each other as a result of which the bus drifted off the road, flipped onto its side into a ditch and ended up hitting a power pole. A bus aide, a 78-year-old man, was transported to a hospital with non-critical injuries.
The bus driver and six students on the bus remained uninjured. The SUV driver, an 84-year-old man, was also rushed to an area hospital for treatment of major injuries. No other details are immediately available.
An investigation is continuing.
