Muskegon County’s Most Dangerous Intersections in 2021

Our attorneys share the list of Muskegon County’s Top 10 most dangerous intersections based on Michigan State Police car accident reports for 2021 so local drivers can use extra caution when they’re traveling through these areas.

This annual list is provided by our attorneys to help keep Michigan drivers safe.
