CANTON TWP., Mich. (FOX 2) - A man was hit by a car after walking onto the roadway of I-275, Michigan State Police said.
What they're saying:
Officials say just before 8 p.m. on Oct. 13, a man pulled his car over on the side of SB I-275, got out and walked into traffic. One driver was able to swerve around and avoid the man in the road, but a second car unfortunately could not and hit the man.
He died on the scene.
"Troopers will interview family members to determine why the pedestrian walked into the roadway," said Lt. Mike Shaw. "Remember you are not alone. If you are struggling, there are people to talk to. Contact friends, police, medical staff, clergy or the 988 crisis hotline. There is always help available."
