There was a tragic story on the news today about a Paw Paw pedestrian accident that happened yesterday in Van Buren County. According to the Paw Paw police, a woman was allegedly hit by at least two cars, possibly three, on the westbound exit ramp to M-40. Police talked to the drivers of the two vehicles that hit the pedestrian. The third possible driver did not stay at the scene of the accident. Police do not know if the third driver hit the pedestrian. The pedestrian was taken to a local Kalamazoo Hospital for treatment of her serious injuries. Police are still investigating this accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic accident and hope the injured pedestrian has a complete and full recovery from her serious injuries.

I read a tragic story in the paper today about a fatal Mackinac County Hit & Run Pedestrian Accident in the Upper Peninsula yesterday. According to police, two people were killed and several more were seriously injured when they were walking along South Gould Road in Newton Township and were allegedly plowed into by a SUV or pick-up truck that crossed the center line of the road. The driver left the scene of the accident but was later found by the State Police.  He was arrested and charged with several felonies including second degree murder. Police continue to investigate the accident.

I am very sorry to hear about this tragic car accident and wish my most heart-felt condolences to the family of the deceased women for their loss. I wish the injured pedestrians a complete and full recovery and hope that they do not suffer permanent injuries from this horrible accident.
