Tragic news is even more tragic when it befalls a kid, and that is what has happened Saturday. Michigan basketball recruit Austin Hatch is in serious condition after being involved in a plane crash that claimed the lives of his father and stepmother.
Austin Hatch, Michigan recruit, involved in second plane crash
Unbelievably, this is the second plane crash Hatch has experiened. In 2003, he and his father survived a plane crash that killed his mother, his 11-year-old sister, and his five-year-old brother.
Hatch is currently hospitalized in “serious” condition. We hope for a speedy return to health physically, and we know the the Michigan program and community will be there for him. For more, check back later with our Michigan blog, Maize N Brew.
