BATTLE CREEK (WKZO AM/FM) — A man who reportedly stepped out in front of a semi-truck in Battle Creek is in critical condition at the Intensive Care Unit at Bronson Methodist, as investigators try to figure out what happened.
At about 6:30 last evening, Battle Creek got a call about a man who was walking on Helmer Road, apparently oblivious to the cars that were swerving to avoid striking him.
The Semi-driver says he first spotted the man standing on the curb, but as he approached, the man stepped directly into his path.
Police say that just before he wandered into traffic the man had been in a car that went off Columbia near Helmer.
