LAKETOWN TWP., MI (WKZO AM/FM) – A pedestrian who was attempting to jump start a stalled vehicle was struck and injured on Sunday morning near Saugatuck.
Just before 1:30 AM, Allegan County Central Dispatch received multiple phone calls about a serious accident involving a pick-up truck striking a pedestrian on Blue Star Highway near 63rd Street. Responding sheriff’s deputies say that the victim was attempting to jumpstart another disabled vehicle that was off the roadway when a south bound pick-up truck struck both vehicles, while the victim working in between them.
No identification as to the name, age, or hometown of the victim was immediately disclosed, and neither was any indication as to where the person was taken for treatment, or the extent of any injuries sustained. No information as to the pickup driver was also revealed, as the sheriff’s department would only add that alcohol is believed to be a factor in the incident, which remains under investigation.
