Five hospitalized after rollover crash on I-96 in Ionia County
Five people remain in the hospital with serious injuries following a rollover crash on westbound I-96 in Danby Township on Sunday morning. The incident occurred just after 7 a.m. Near Clintonia Road when a 2020 black BMW X1 lost control while traveling at a high rate of speed.
Ionia County Sheriff’s Office investigators determined that alcohol and excessive speed contributed to the wreck. The vehicle ran off the roadway, struck a ditch, and rolled multiple times before landing upright. Deputies used a Snapchat video posted immediately before the crash to identify the seating positions of the five occupants, all of whom denied being the driver.
The crash shut down westbound I-96 for several hours. The Ionia County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Portland PD, Portland EMS, Portland Fire Department, Life EMS, Grand Ledge Fire Department, Ionia County Road Department, Ionia County Central Dispatch, MDOT, and Reed & Hoppes.
