It was reported that a passenger was ejected from one of the vehicles involved. Officers from the Niles Police Department and Niles Fire Department arrived on scene and immediately gave first aid to five victims involved in the crash.

Amy Ruth Perry’s husband and child were treated and released from Memorial Hospital with minor injuries.

The driver and passenger of the Ford Taurus were treated and released from Memorial Hospital with minor injuries. Both were wearing their seatbelts.

Both Amy and her husband were not wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash.

The Niles Police Department is continuing to investigate this crash. It appears at this time that alcohol was not a factor. When the investigation is completed it will be sent to the Berrien County Prosecutors Office for review.
