OVID TOWNSHIP, MI (WTVB) – A 76-year-old Coldwater man who was trapped in his vehicle after crashing in Ovid Township on Thursday night was flown to Borgess Hospital after suffering a severe laceration to the head.
The injury was said to be non-life threatening.
The Michigan State Police say the crash happened on Quimby Road near Tallahasee Road at about 9:30 p.m. when the southbound vehicle did not turn for the curve in the road.
It then went off the road and went into a ditch before it turning onto its side and striking multiple trees.
The 90 minute Zoom meeting is scheduled to start that evening at 6:00 p.m..
Backers claim the $150 million Coldwater Solar project will result in up to 150 megawatts of clean energy which they say would be enough to power about 27,000 homes.
They also say Coldwater Solar would generate up to $21 million in new tax revenue for the two townships as well as for county services and local school districts. In addition, it’s being claimed the project would create hundreds of new clean energy jobs during construction and several permanent positions for facility operations.
Some Ovid Township residents are opposed to the large solar project. Among their concerns are potential impacts on agricultural land and property values.
