Two people seriously injured in head-on crash near Mason
MASON – Two people were critically injured in a head-on crash Monday afternoon east of Mason.
The crash happened about 4 p.m. on Meridian Road, near Columbia Road, and involved three vehicles, including a pickup truck and a car, the Ingham County Sheriff's Office said.
A 26-year-old Waterford man was driving south when he hit a vehicle he was trying to pass, then struck a northbound vehicle driven by a 49-year-old Mason man, officials said in a news release.
Both men were taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Bilingual Hul'q'umi'num street signs coming to downtown Duncan


For many, the project signifies more that putting up new signs — it is a step toward reconciliation and understanding.
Cowichan Tribes elder Merle Seymour smiled when saying the signs would “make me walk proud.” Everyone will be learning together, he said. Seymour was among Cowichan Tribes members featured in a documentary on the project that was played for council.
The significance of using Hul’q’umi’num words was brought home when Seymour reflected on attending residential school, and what happened when the children spoke their own language. “Oh, we were in trouble. We used to get strapped. We used to get strapped on the hands, right up to here,” he said, pointing to his arm. It was hard not to speak their own language, he said, “because that’s all we knew.”
