KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — A two-car crash that knocked down power lines sent one driver to the hospital in Kalamazoo County on Monday, November 14.
The incident happened around 8:45 a.m. on Sprinkle Road past the BP Gas station in the northbound lane just before the eastbound entrance ramp to I-94 and the roundabout.
According to Michigan State Police troopers, one of the cars involved rolled off the road, taking down the power lines, shutting down the northbound lane of Sprinkle Road in that area for at least a couple of hours.
As an added safety measure, the Sprinkle Road/Cork Street exit ramp on I-94 was also blocked heading north.
Consumers Energy personnel were called out due to the live wires in the road and the driver of the vehicle that downed the power lines was taken to the hospital. The other driver is expected to be okay, according to state police.
