Lower Michigan Pickup Truck/Horse & Buggy Accident
There was a tragic story in the paper yesterday about a Grand Rapids pickup truck accident involving a horse and buggy. The accident took place on Tuesday, July 20th, around 7:15 p.m. in Wexford County’s Colfax Township. According to police, a pickup truck driving along East 16 1/2 Road hit a horse and cart killing one of the two cart’s passengers. The other passenger in the cart suffered injuries and was transported to the hospital.
I am very sorry to hear about this accident and my deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased victim.
