Lansing,MI : Michigan man provides flag for veteran killed in car crash on September, Saturday 2nd 2017
A Michigan man whose house is next to the site of a fatal motorcycle crash has honored the Army veteran killed in that crash by giving an American flag to the victim's family.
James McCarter said the flag honor was just the right thing to do for fellow veteran Joshua VanBelzen. The 26-year-old VanBelzen was leaving a motorcycle veterans' gathering in Cambridge Township on Aug. 26 when he failed to make a curve in the road and struck an oncoming pickup truck.
Authorities pronounced him dead at the scene, the Jackson Citizen Patriot reported.
The bend in the road where VanBelzen died is just outside the house where McCarter lives and he had heard the crash impact.
