Driver charged with misdemeanor in crash that killed aunt, baby

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Nearly 14 months after a driver slammed into the back of a stopped car,killing a young woman and baby, prosecutors have charged him with a misdemeanor count.

The moving violation causing death charge carries up to one year in jail and a mandatory one-year license suspension — not punishment enough in the minds of the victims’ tight-knit family.

“It doesn’t make sense,” said Bill Baker, who lost his daughter, Samantha, and granddaughter, Annalee, in the crash.

“It might have been an accident, but, still, there’s got to be some consequences. Some sort of justice for what was done.”
