Emergency responders were sent to the scene to render aid to the injured party. They found 38-year-old Michael Wayne Son Jr. of East Lansing lying on the roadway. He sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Pedestrian deaths are on the rise across the country, while passenger car deaths are on the decline. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely to be killed in an accident. In the event of a collision, pedestrians have little protection, making them more vulnerable to fatal injuries.
The pain of losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is almost unbearable. For those close to the victim, it can have unintended consequences. Family members who survive the accident are frequently the ones who bear the brunt of the accident's consequences. They may be able to recover lost compensation by filing a wrongful death claim with the help of an experienced East Lansing wrongful death attorney. A wrongful death claim seeks compensation from those responsible for the deceased's death by holding the at-fault party accountable for their role in a fatal accident.
