The incident happened in the parking lot of Alex's Market and Grill in Holly Township, where police say a mother standing outside a Ford Explorer holding her 1-year-old child and tending to another in her car was hit by a Ford pickup truck as it pulled out of a parking spot.

A Michigan State Police (MSP) trooper arrived on the scene and administered CPR until EMS crews arrived, but unfortunately, the 29-year-old mother from Warren was dead.

As the investigation continues, MSP believe that the driver allegedly may have been under the influence of narcotics.

MSP said the driver of the truck was a 72-year-old man from Carleton and when they interviewed him, it left investigators to conclude a suspicion of narcotics impairment. 

The driver was arrested, and a search warrant was obtained by police to get blood drawn from the 72-year-old.

MSP has released a statement on the incident:

"It does appear at this time that impaired driving is the cause of this crash. It does not matter if they are prescribed drugs, marijuana or over the counter, they all impact your ability to drive."
