Emmett Towhship Fatal Car Accident
I read tragic story in the paper yesterday about an Emmett Township Fatal Car Accident. According to the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office, the fatal accident occurred at 11 Mile and Verona Roads in Emmett Township when the vehicle Jeffrey Shepherd, of Marshall, was driving allegedly failed to stop for a red light at the intersection and struck a northbound van and southbound pick-up truck. Three people were seriously injured and Shepherd was killed. Police are still investigating this accident.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and wish the injured parties the fullest and speediest recovery possible. My condolences to the family of Joseph Shepherd for their loss.
