JAMESTOWN TOWNSHIP, MI : 1 injured after truck crashes in school parking lot on Thursday, 8th June 2023

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.
