Allegan County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a two-vehicle crash on M-40 at 140th Avenue in Fillmore Township at 4:12 a.m. Thursday morning. 

Julie Ann Shaffer, 30, from the Holland area, died as a result of the crash. The driver of other vehicle involved in the crash, a 60-year-old man from the South Haven area, suffered non-life threatening injuries.

The crash occurred in the intersection and involved a semi-truck and trailer combination and a Ford Escape.  The semi-truck, southbound on M-40, struck Shaffer’s Ford, westbound on 140th Avenue, in the passenger’s side.

The semi-truck and trailer ended up in a field southwest of the intersection and the Ford ended up on the east side shoulder of the roadway.  Initial investigation indicates the Ford may have failed to stop at the intersection of 140th Ave and M-40.

The crash is still under investigation. AMR ambulance and the Overisel Township and Hamilton fire departments assisted at the scene
