According to the Roseville Police, a 50-year-old Warren resident was walking on the right lane of Groesbeck Highway, just south of 12 Mile, when he was allegedly hit by a tractor-trailer, driven by a 45-year-old Saginaw man.

I read a tragic story today about a Fatal Petoskey Semi-Truck Accident over the weekend. According to Michigan State Police, four people have died from an accident on US-31 in Emmet County involving two semi-trucks, a pick-up truck with a utility trailer and a passenger car. 

State Police stated the passenger car allegedly crossed the center-line into the path of a semi-truck driven by a 47-year-old man. The semi-truck driver allegedly veered left to avoid the car and hit the pick-up truck, which was traveling behind the car.

The passenger car then spun out of control into the path of a second semi-truck driven by a man from White Cloud. The semi-truck hit the car and left the road coming to a rest in a wooded area. The three passengers in the pick-up truck died at the scene of the accident. The fourth pick-up truck passenger was taken to Munson Medical Center with serious, life-threatening injuries where he died over the weekend. Police are still investigating this horrific accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic car accident and wish my most heart-felt condolences to the family of the deceased passengers for their loss.
