A collision in eastern Michigan left three people dead and seven others hospitalized last Friday night. CBS News Detroit reported that the crash happened in Ellington Township on Deckerville Road near Hurds Corner Road around 9 p.m., when a semitruck driven by a Florida man failed to stop at a stop sign and hit a Jeep carrying eight passengers.
According to The Detroit News, the three people who died were members of the Putman family, known from the TLC show "Meet the Putmans" and the YouTube channel "Growing Up Putman." Some of the surviving victims were reported to be in critical condition.
Following the collision, the 55-year-old semitruck driver from Florida and his female passenger were treated for minor injuries before his arrest, with charges pending as the investigation continues and a report is sent to the Tuscola County prosecutor, as per Mlive. The Putman family asked for prayers on social media, writing, "Please keep Uncle Blake, Lulu, Alena, Noah and Gia in your prayers as they remain in the hospital," and adding, "We are asking for complete healing and strength for each of them," as mentioned by The Detroit News.
