Detroit, MI (December 7, 2021) - A man was purposely hit by a car on a roadway in downtown Detroit on the morning of December 7. First responders were sent to assist at the scene at approximately 9:22 a.m. 

Reports indicate that the collision took place in the 200 block of East Grand River Avenue near Broadway Street when a man was traveling on foot near the roadway. He was reportedly purposely struck by a vehicle that then fled the scene. 

Currently, the identity of the victim has not been reported. Paramedics responded to the site of the accident in order to assist the injured victim. At this time, it remains unclear whether he required transportation to the hospital for his injuries. 

The suspect was last seen on Broadway Street headed toward Gratiot Avenue. Authorities in Detroit continue to investigate the circumstances of the crash. 

We hope for the full recovery of the injured victim. 

Pedestrian Accidents in Michigan

Detroit, MI - Person Struck by Vehicle, Injured on E Grand River Ave near Broadway St

Traveling by foot is one of the most dangerous ways to get around. It may not seem that way, however, if a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle, the injuries they usually sustain are often more severe than injuries sustained in a regular car crash. When we walk along busy roadways, we are putting ourselves at risk of being hit by a car driven by a negligent driver.

Unfortunately, over 90% of reported traffic accidents in the United States are caused by some form of driver negligence. Many forms of driver negligence exist, including distraction, fatigue, and intoxication. It takes a second for an accident to take place and cause injuries that may last for months, or even a lifetime. 

Depending on the circumstances of an accident, an injured victim may be forced into the hospital for a lengthy stay in order to recover. Repeat surgeries may even be necessary, rendering a person unable to work and earn a living for some time. This can all be very overwhelming and difficult, especially because these events are almost always unforeseen, and happen out of absolutely nowhere. No one is ever prepared to get hurt in an auto accident, let alone suffer severe or catastrophic injuries that could ultimately change their life. A pedestrian accident lawyer in Michigan may be able to help you move forward in more ways than one after being hurt in an accident. Read on to learn more about how an attorney can help you.
