The 83-year-old woman’s 89-year-old husband and passenger is currently being treated at Spectrum Health Ludington Hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. The 31-year-old man was not injured.

Pere Marquette Township and Ludington fire departments, along with Life EMS ambulance, were also on the scene.
