FERRYSBURG, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Feb. 4, 2023) – A 26-year-old Norton Shores man failed in his attempt to run from the law on Saturday evening, but that paled in comparison to what happened to him in that attempt.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Keith Biros, a deputy made a traffic stop on northbound US-31 near Van Wagoner Road in Ferrysburg just before 7 PM. In the process of that stop, a passenger in that vehicle stepped out and started running westbound across the median. As he entered the southbound lanes, a vehicle struck him.
Deputies on the scene administered first aid, and the unnamed man was taken to “a local hospital” in stable condition for treatment of serious injuries. Nobody else was hurt in the incident, which closed the freeway for more than two hours while the matter was taken care of.
An investigation is ongoing.
