A routine last Thursday afternoon in Hudsonville took an unexpected turn when a semi-truck collided with a local Subway restaurant, according to the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office. The incident occurred on Corporate Grove Drive shortly before 5:00 p.m., with no injuries reported. FOX17 reports that the driver, after parking the truck in a lot, ventured to a neighboring gas station without properly setting the parking brake, initiating the vehicle's precarious descent.

Upon encountering its accidental descent, the semi first made contact with a parked car before imposing itself on the Subway establishment. The building sustained such damage that it was compelled to shut its doors temporarily. The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office, still piecing together the day's events, has not yet concluded its investigation into the mishap, according to WWMT.

Details furnished by the sheriff's office describe that the 2019 Volvo semi was situated on the lot's south side. The vehicle, presumably at rest, was left unsecured at an incline, leading to the unintended journey that caused substantial structural harm to the Subway location on 3196 Corporate Grove Drive. WOODTV reports that the local enforcement authorities are thoroughly examining the factors that contributed to the storefront's ruin.
