OTSICO TOWNSHIP, Mich. — One person was seriously injured in a crash near Belding and has been airlifted from the scene.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Ionia County Sheriff's Office (ICSO) said deputies were sent to a crash on M-44 near Deitz Road, just outside of Belding.
At least one person was hurt. Deputies confirm one person was airlifted after the crash.
We're told a 2021 Chevy Tahoe turned into a semitruck's rear, hitting and dislodging an axle hauling a box trailer.
