Tragedy struck the well-known Putman family when three beloved members were killed in a car crash.

Bill “Papa,” Barb “Neenee,” and Megan Putman died instantly near Deckerville, Michigan. Megan’s husband Blake, their three children, and niece Gia were injured and remain in the hospital. “Even in this time of heartbreak, we rest in knowing that God is in control,” wrote Isabelle Putman.

The accident happened when a semi-truck driver ran a stop sign and hit the family’s Jeep. Police confirmed the truck driver was arrested and faces charges. Officers urged drivers to stay alert, saying, “Far too many crashes are destroying people’s lives.”

The Putmans became famous in 2017 through their TLC series Meet the Putmans, which showed all 25 family members living under one roof. The show later returned on YouTube as Growing Up Putman.

“Papa, Neenee, and Aunt Megan are alive and whole in Heaven,” Isabelle shared. The family thanked fans for their prayers and support.
