Hundreds expected at buggy crash victims benefit

EVERGREEN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A little more than a month after a deadly buggy crash in Montcalm County, one of the injured victims was finally released from a Grand Rapids rehabilitation hospital.

Paul Martin ‘graduated’ from Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Center Friday. His wife Judith Martin is expected to remain there for three or four weeks to continue her rehab.

The Martins and their seven children, an Old Order Mennonite family, were riding in their horse-drawn buggy on Condensary Road near Sheridan the morning of Oct. 29 when a pickup truck rear-ended them.

The crash claimed the lives of three of their children: 11-year-old Cameron, 9-year-old Kayla and 7-year-old Kendra Martin. The Martin’s four other children were injured but released from the hospital in the days following.
