ZEELAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Oct. 23, 2025) – An 81-year-old Zeeland Township woman lost her life after being struck by a pickup truck in Zeeland just before dawn on Wednesday.
Zeeland Police say that dark and rainy conditions may have hindered the sight of a 32-year-old Zeeland man who was driving the vehicle on East Main near Maple around 8 AM. The truck hit Mary Boschma, who was attempting to cross the roadway, and she eventually succumbed to her injuries at Corewell-Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids.
Authorities don’t believe that the driver was impaired by drugs or alcohol, and that he apparently had the right of way, as the incident remains under investigation.
