A 24-year-old Holland man is in custody after fleeing the scene of an accident early this morning, police said. An Ottawa County Sheriff's patrol car came upon a car that had crashed into a utility pole on Butternut Drive north of James Street shortly after 3 a.m., Ottawa County Sheriff's Sgt. Keith Garvelink said. As the deputy approached the scene, he saw two people run away from the car. The driver was found later near 136th Avenue and James Street with the help of a K-9 unit. He was taken into custody. His passenger, who also fled, was not found, Garvelink said.

Ottawa County deputies said three men survived being run over by a semitrailer truck in a crash that closed U.S. 31 for nearly two hours on Monday evening. The accident happened around 6:15 p.m. on southbound U.S. 31 in Holland Township.

The investigation is continuing into a fatal mobile home fire which killed 14-month-old Trenton Harlen early Tuesday morning, said Lt. Steve Kempker of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department. Investigators from the Sheriff's Department and the State Fire Marshall's Office were on the scene Tuesday, looking into the cause of the fire, Kempker said. In the meantime, the Ottawa County medical examiner reported that the toddler died as a result of smoke inhalation, Kempker said.

A toddler has died and his sister is in serious condition as the result of an overnight fire at their home in the Leisure Estates Mobile Home Park. Fire broke out inside the Butternut Avenue home about 1:48 a.m., said Lt. Steve Kempker of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department. Witnesses said they heard an explosion, then saw 3-foot flames shooting out of the home, according to a WZZM-TV report. The mobile home was fully involved in fire when police and firefighters arrived, Kempker said.
