On Monday evening Deputies from the Montcalm County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a report of a single vehicle crash with an ejected driver who was injured. Deputies responded and assisted as EMS provided care until the driver was transported to the hospital. The investigation revealed that the involved vehicle had been northbound on US131 when the vehicle had lost control and exited the roadway causing the vehicle to rollover.

The driver, a 33-year-old man from Lakeview, sustained head injuries as well as injuries to the arms and legs. He was transported to Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids by Mecosta County Emergency Medical Services.
