Lansing Twp., MI (July 29, 2026) – A male pedestrian was injured after two vehicles struck him early Tuesday, July 28. The collision occurred around 3:30 a.m. at Saginaw Street and Homer Street near Frandor.
A Dodge Durango traveling east on Saginaw Street struck the man first. A Dodge Challenger turning east from northbound Homer Street then made contact with him.
Both drivers stopped after the accident. The pedestrian was taken to University of Michigan Health–Sparrow Lansing Hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening.
The wreck remains under review. We hope the injured pedestrian receives supportive care and recovers steadily.
Common Injury Risks in Multiple-Vehicle Pedestrian Crashes
Pedestrians have no metal frame, seat belt, or airbag to protect them from a moving vehicle. Initial contact may injure the legs, hips, chest, or head and can cause the person to fall onto the pavement.
A second vehicle may create another force before the person can move away from traffic. The direction of travel and turning movements can affect where contact occurs and how the body moves afterward.
Vehicle speed, height, lighting, and the angle of each strike may influence the severity of harm. Medical teams may check for fractures, head trauma, and internal bleeding, even when injuries are not considered life-threatening. Some symptoms, including soreness, dizziness, or swelling, can become clearer several hours later.
