According to the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office, a 68 year old Hadley Township woman was southbound on M-15 at the Hill Road intersection waiting to turn east. A 21 year old female driver crashed into the rear end of the Hadley Township woman’s car pushing it into the northbound lane of M-15. An oncoming motorhome driven by a 66 year old Goodrich male collided with the vehicle.
