JAMESTOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A box truck crashed in the parking lot of an elementary school south of Hudsonville Thursday, hitting cars and a parent on the last day of the school year.

It happened around noon at Forest Grove Elementary on 32nd Avenue at Perry Street in Jamestown Township.

“It was really scary,” Kalib Stickler said as he stood next to his mother on his final day of sixth grade.

He was waiting outside the school when the commotion began. A box truck was heading north on 32nd when its driver lost control. Skid parks show the truck went off the road and into the parking lot, where it hit five parked cars and an empty school bus. It came to a stop at the school’s front entrance.

Kalib told News 8 that the truck “curved and drifted and almost hit the school.”

“Tons of dirt came into our car and it crunched into all the cars,” Kalib said.

His dad, a 35-year-old from Hudsonville who was standing between two of the parked cars, was pinned between them but was able to free himself. He was seriously hurt and was taken to the hospital by ambulance, according to the sheriff’s office. The Jamestown Township fire chief said his injuries were not considered life-threatening.

Thursday was the last day of the school year for Forest Grove and a half day. Classes were scheduled to dismiss at 12:15 p.m. The crash was reported at 12:03 p.m. No students or teachers were injured.

“Nobody was killed and only one person was injured, so that was a miracle today for that,” Jamestown Township Fire Chief Duane Miedema said.

The truck driver, a 75-year-old man from Grandville, was not injured, deputies said.
