67-year-old man hit by vehicle, killed in Wyoming

Investigators say the man was crossing the street outside of the crosswalk when he was hit by a southbound vehicle.

WYOMING, Mich. — A pedestrian was killed early Tuesday morning after being hit by vehicle in Wyoming.

Police say the incident happened near the intersection of Division Avenue S and 32nd Street SE around 6:40 a.m. Responding officers found a 67-year-old Wyoming man unresponsive in the road. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say the man was crossing the street outside of the crosswalk when he was hit by a southbound vehicle. The driver remained at the scene to speak with police.

Police say there are no indications that speeding, alcohol or slick road conditions contributed to the crash.

About 15 minutes after this crash, a 13-year-old boy was hit by a car while he was walking in the road in the area of 44th Street SW and Byron Center Ave SW. Police say he is in critical condition.

"While we're still investigating both crashes, I can tell you that both pedestrians were not in a crosswalk when they were struck by a vehicle," said Lt. Andrew Koeller. "It's pretty unexpected, and it's pretty draining on resources. Most of our patrol, our community services unit, our forensics unit, our accident investigators were all out, divided amongst the scenes and it can be pretty tough to manage but they did a wonderful job."

The Wyoming Department of Public Safety Accident Investigation and Forensic Services Units are investigating both crashes.
