The Michigan State Police arrested a 36-year-old man from Whitehall Monday afternoon on suspicion of driving while impaired after he drove the wrong way, going north on US-31 South, resulting in a head-on collision with another vehicle. Video of the incident was posted to local social media pages.
State police public information officer Patrick Agema said that the at-fault driver, Michael Burt, was arraigned Tuesday.
The collision took place a short distance north of the Apple Avenue exit in Muskegon. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in the crash. The other driver was a 77-year-old man from Muskegon.
The state police said on its X/Twitter account that "the freeway was closed for about 30 minutes during the investigation."
