HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — First responders took two people to the hospital after a four-car crash in Ottawa County, according to the sheriff's office.

Deputies responded to the crash on the Lakewood Boulevard overpass of US-31, in Holland Township, around 10:15 p.m. Friday.

The sheriff's office tells FOX 17 a 22-year-old man from Fennville was driving north when he rear-ended a Jeep.

This pushed the Jeep, which a 17-year-old girl from Holland was driving, into oncoming traffic.

That brought two more cars, both driving south, into the crash.

The crash shut down one northbound lane and both southbound lanes, near James Street, for more than an hour.

Two people were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries; however, first responders did have to extricate one of the drivers from their car.

The Ottawa County Sheriff's Office says it's still investigating the crash.
