KENT CITY, Mich. (WZZM) — M-37 at 17 Mile is back open after a crash involving a car and a motorcycle.


It happened Saturday evening at approximately 10:30 p.m. in Tyrone Township.


Michigan State Police say a 34 year old Wayland woman was traveling southbound on M-37 when she attempted to do a U-turn, failing to see a group of motorcycles behind her. One motorcycle avoided the car, but a 2004 Harley Davidson, driven by a 47 year old man and his 45 year old passenger from Grand Rapids collided with the Caravan.


The cyclists were thrown from the motorcycle, approximately 75 feet into a ditch. Both suffered major lower leg injuries and were transported to Grand Rapids Butterworth Hospital for treatment.
