WRIGHT TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A double-rollover accident in the Marne area has resulted in three people being taken to a hospital, one in critical condition. Authorities on the scene tell FOX 17 the person in critical condition was flown by AeroMed. The other two were taken by ambulance.
The two-car crash occurred around 6:40 p.m. Thursday at 24th Avenue at Roosevelt Street. The intersection in Wright Township reopened around 8:45 p.m., after two upside-down vehicles and debris was removed from the scene.

An Aero-Med chopper was dispatched shortly after the incident, and Ottawa County Dispatch Authority says the helicopter landed on-scene around 7:07 p.m. It lifted off around 7:27 p.m., en route to Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital, per dispatchers.
The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office says its preliminary investigation revealed that a 2015 Honda CRV driven by Linda Simons was heading eastbound on Roosevelt Street when it failed to stop for the stop sign at 24th Avenue. Police say a 2007 blue Ford Taurus driven by Joshua Feldpausch, 36, of Conklin was heading northbound on 24th Avenue when it was struck by Simons’ vehicle in the front left corner. That caused both vehicles to go off the road and roll over.
Police say two children were in the Feldpaush vehicle, and he and a 9-year-old received unspecified injuries and were in stable condition.
The Wright Township Fire Department responders were assisted by Chester Township Fire and Coopersville Rescue in pulling Simons from the Honda CRV. The Sheriff’s Office says Simons was flown to the hospital in critical-but-stable condition.
