(6-4-22) A Montpelier man Jerry “Jake” Michael (74) and his young great-grandson Jenson Reynolds (5) were killed Thursday evening when a car left a city street and slammed into a local home (165 E. Blaine St.)

A vehicle driven by Brandi S. Bare (46) Montpelier struck and apparently drove entirely through the Michael’s home.

Michael and the child were on the house’s porch when the vehicle hit.

Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Two other people at the house were injured and flown by medical helicopter to Indianapolis hospitals.
