Father Of Four Killed in Crash

By Patrick Sullivan | April 10, 2018

A father of four was killed after he lost control on ice and crashed into a tree.

Paul Robert Henigan, 34, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on Hobbs Highway in East Bay Township Friday.

Grand Traverse Sheriff’s Office personnel responded to the scene after a neighbor who heard the crash called authorities at 10:50pm.

Investigators do not suspect drugs or alcohol were factors in the accident. Henigan was not wearing a seatbelt, and the 2005 Chevy pickup’s airbag did not deploy.

Henigan left behind a wife and four young children, according to a GoFundMe page set up for his family.
