KCSO Investigates Tragic Double Fatal Accident
TOWNSHIP, Mich: Just after 10:30 AM this morning, the KCSO responded to a single car accident where a 36-year-old woman and her 17-month-old baby were tragically killed.
Our preliminary investigation revealed the father, a 40-year-old man from Woodland, Michigan was driving a pickup truck westbound on 84th Ave, west of Thornapple River Dr when his wife was tending to their baby in the backseat. While the mom and baby were unbuckled, it is believed that the vehicle hydroplaned and collided with an embankment, causing the mother and baby to be ejected from the vehicle. An off-duty emergency room doctor observed the accident and attempted to provide medical care; however, the mom and baby died. The father is uninjured.
The KCSO extends our deepest condolences to the family and all who are impacted by this tragic accident.
