Michigan State University Car Accident | Student Drowns in Red Cedar River
A Michigan State University car accident has resulted in a student drowning in the Red Cedar River. The accident occurred on February 24, 2009 when the car jumped a guardrail and crashed into the river. Jeremy Watson, 21, of East Lansing, drowned in the river, and his passenger, Shawn Wiltfong, 20, also of East Lansing, was rescued by an onlooker Ryan Kowalk. It is not clear what caused the accident, but a flat tire may have been to blame.
This accident is a real tragedy, and I am very sorry this accident occurred. I want to express my sympathies to Jeremy Watson’s family.
This accident involves the operation of a car, so it is still covered by Michigan’s No Fault Act. This means Jeremy Watson’s family can file a No Fault survivor loss claim. This will let them collect a portion of the funeral costs and payments for loss of financial support if Jeremy was working or seeking work at the time of his death as well as payments for loss of household services.
