A 60-year-old Battle Creek man remained in critical condition Monday after being entrapped in his car in a three-vehicle crash in Montcalm County Saturday.
The crash happened just after 5 p.m. south of Edmore, at the corner of North Wyman Road and East Lake Montcalm Road in Home Township.
“The investigation has revealed that a 2009 Ford Flex was westbound on East Lake Montcalm Road and failed to stop for the stop sign at North Wyman Road,” Montcalm Sheriff Mike Williams said.
“The Ford Flex proceeded into the intersection where it was struck by a northbound 2012 Dodge RAM, hauling a pontoon boat, and a southbound 2011 Buick Lucerne.”
The driver of the Ford Flex, a 60-year-old Battle Creek man, had to be extricated from the vehicle, Williams said. He was transported to Corewell Health Butterworth Hospital for life threatening injuries where he remains in critical condition.
The passenger of the Ford Flex, a 21-year-old California man, was also transported to Corewell Health Butterworth Hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
The two occupants of the Dodge RAM, a 42-year-old man who was the driver and a 39-year-old woman from Riverdale, were evaluated and released at the scene for minor injuries.
The driver of the Buick, a 43-year-old McBride woman, was also evaluated and released at the scene for minor injuries.
Seatbelts appeared to be used by all involved.
Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor.
The crash remains under investigation.
