A semi-truck incident on Interstate 96 near Grand Rapids led to the hospitalization of the driver yesterday morning after a reported medical issue caused the vehicle to veer off the road. According toWOODTV, the accident occurred around 11 a.m. near Cascade Road, when the driver, afflicted by an undisclosed medical event, lost control and collided with several trees adjacent to the roadway.
The specifics of the driver’s condition following the crash remain unknown, as officials have not yet released any updates on the individual’s health status. Traffic on westbound I-96 experienced considerable delays as drivers slowed to observe the crash site, prompting state troopers to urge motorists through social media to “Please slow your speeds, keep your eyes on the roadway ahead of you, and use caution when approaching this area.” This statement was echoed byMSP Sixth District’s post on X.
The Michigan State Police are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident. As of now, the road has been cleared and is open to traffic. News outletWZZM13further indicated that the delays were in part due to other drivers getting distracted by the sight of the damaged semi and the crash scene.
