Williamston community honors siblings killed in bike crash

On September 5, a 12‑year‑old boy and his 13‑year‑old sister were riding their bikes along Grand River Avenue in Leroy Township when they were struck by an SUV. The boy died at the scene and the sister died in the hospital several days later.

In the days that followed, residents of Williamston displayed green and white ribbons along Grand River Avenue, tied to fences, light posts and street signs, and replaced porch light bulbs with green bulbs to honor the family.

The community also organized a fundraiser that raised more than $120,000 for the family.
