Child killed in Remus Road crash

Teen critically injured

Three children were in a car involved in a two-vehicle crash Saturday afternoon, and the youngest one of them died in the accident.

The Isabella County Sheriff’s Office reported that one of its deputies was approaching the intersection of Remus and Lincolns roads at 12:45 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 4, and witnessed two vehicles collide.

Inside a pickup truck was a 33-year-old Union Township man, who declined medical treatment.

Inside the other car were a 37-year-old woman along with three children, a 12-year-old girl and two boys, a 14-year-old and a 3-year-old. They are from Mecosta County.

The male passengers were in the back seat.

“The deputy observed that the two younger male victims in the rear of the car were in serious condition,” the Isabella County Sheriff’s Office reported. “The deputy assisted with medical treatment until first responders and EMS arrived.”

The 3-year-old boy was dead at the scene, and the older boy later was flown to Devos Children’s

Hospital in critical condition.

The driver, a 37-yearold woman, and the 12 year old were both taken for medical treatment for non-life threatening injuries.

“Currently the accident is under investigation,” the sheriff’s office reported. “Preliminary findings point towards an improper turn at the intersection.”
