UPDATE: Family hit by car; mom dies

BLUE LAKE TWP., Mich. (WZZM) - A mom walking along White Lake Drive Sunday night was killed and two of her three kids were airlifted to the hospital after being hit by a car.

The crash happened at about 9:45pm Sunday in Blue Lake Township in Muskegon County.

The Muskegon County Sheriff's Department says that Erica Michelle Watson, 24, from Holland, was killed at the scene. 

Hanesis Bell, 4, was treated and released from Hackley Hospital. 

Eryk Watson, 6 months, and Hollis Bell, 1, are at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in stable condition.

A friend of Erica Watson's tells WZZM 13 News that she had paid a neighbor $25 to drive to Holland and bring Erica and her children to Blue Lake Township, to celebrate Mothers' Day with her.  After a day of celebrating and drinking, the neighbor backed out of driving Watson back to Holland.  After a dispute, Watson left the friend's home on foot with her kids.

Reading will take center stage during the silver-anniversary summer of the Children’s After School Achievement (CASA) at Hope College.

Approximately 95 area elementary-age students will participate in CASA’s six-week summer session, which will feature the theme “Un Festival de Libros [A Festival of Books): CASA Celebrates 25 Years of Reading,” beginning on Monday, June 18.

“Good reading skills are essential to learning,” said Fonda Green, executive director of CASA.  “They lay the foundation for children to make their way through school and into the world of work and responsibility.  They also open up a realm of wonders by transporting us to any subject, location, or character within minutes.”

“Un Festival de Libros’ will help young CASA students to hone their reading skills through greater access to books and creative reading projects that will captivate their attention all summer,” she said.
