Two dead, one critical after van apparently blows tire on U.S 31

Several witnesses said the vehicle, a white van, was passing a semi-truck when its rear driver's-side tire blew out, causing the driver to lose control, Roesler said. The van rolled several times in the median before wrapping around the tree, he said.

A small lap dog was freed from the wreckage more than an hour after the crash and is expected to be OK, Roesler said.

Larry is my biological Dad. I'm his oldest child and would like any information that you can give to me. I have not seen nor head from him in a very long time. I am very sorry for what has happened
