A 19-year-old pedestrian was seriously injured in a traffic incident involving a 16-year-old driver in Walker, as confirmed by multiple reports. The accident occurred at the intersection of Lake Michigan Drive and Ferndale Avenue NW around 9:50 p.m. last night, with emergency services rushing the victim to the hospital due to the gravity of the injuries sustained.

According to details released by WOOD TV8, the pedestrian was struck while crossing the road, and the vehicle involved was traveling west on Lake Michigan Drive at the time of the collision. Based on initial investigations, the Walker Police Department is urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who possesses potentially relevant information to come forward, offering contact details for the department and for Silent Observer.

In a separate statement obtained by WZZM 13, Walker Police Captain Andy Veen noted that following the initial crash, while the vehicle was pulled over to check on the pedestrian, another vehicle subsequently collided with the stopped car. The report further explained that the subsequent collision further complicated the scene and led to the closure of the road in both directions for several hours.
