Mount Clemens — Family members of a National Guard veteran who served in Iraq and Kuwait are raising money for his funeral after he was killed in a rollover crash that police say was caused by his friend driving drunk.
Eddie Griffin III, 28, of Warren died Friday in the crash on Interstate 94 in Harrison Township.
Christopher Sereck Buckerfield, 27, was charged Monday in Clinton Township’s 41B District Court with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, causing death and possession of marijuana.
Police say Buckerfield of Clinton Township was westbound on I-94 in his red 2008 Suzuki SX4 when he lost control of the vehicle, causing it to roll near Shook Road about 11:20 p.m. Responding deputies found Buckerfield and his passenger, Griffin, in the badly damaged vehicle. Griffin, 28, died at the scene.
“I forgive Chris (Buckerfield),” said Griffin’s sister, Candace Griffin, 35. “I don’t see him doing it on purpose. “Any ill will is not going to bring my brother back,” she said. “It just hurts because I miss him.”
Buckerfield was transported to McLaren Hospital for treatment. He was released Saturday and taken to the Macomb County Jail. read more here
