What Happened
A pedestrian was left in critical condition Monday morning after being struck by a van whose driver did not stop, according to the Huron Township Police Department in Wayne County.
Police said the crash happened around 7:45 a.m. on Monday, September 14, on Pennsylvania Road between Huron River Drive and Wayne Road. The pedestrian was taken to a hospital in critical condition, per Huron Township police.
Investigators released an image of the suspected vehicle and described it as a white van — possibly a Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana — with damage to the front passenger side. The van continued eastbound after the impact, police said.
“We are asking the driver to come to the Huron Township Police Department… We would like to speak to them about the incident,” the department said in a statement reported by FOX 2 Detroit.

The Investigation: What Happens Next
The Huron Township Police Department is leading the investigation and has asked the public for help identifying the van and its driver. In hit-and-run investigations, police typically canvass the area for home, business, and traffic camera footage, examine debris left at the scene to identify the vehicle, and follow up on tips from repair shops and residents who may notice a vehicle with fresh front-end damage.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Huron Township Police Department at 734-753-4400. The department is located at 36500 South Huron Road in New Boston.
The Legal Picture
What happens when the driver in a pedestrian crash isn’t found?
Michigan’s no-fault system includes provisions for people injured by unidentified or uninsured drivers, including pedestrians, through the Michigan Assigned Claims Plan. Our overview of Michigan no-fault insurance explains how coverage is generally determined after a pedestrian crash.
Do pedestrians have coverage under no-fault?
In Michigan, an injured pedestrian generally looks first to their own household auto policy for no-fault benefits; when none exists, benefits may be available through other channels defined by statute. The details depend on each person’s circumstances.
What are the consequences of leaving a crash scene?
Leaving the scene of a serious injury crash is a felony in Michigan. Separately from any criminal case, civil claims can proceed once a driver is identified. General information is available from our attorney resources page.
These are general questions that arise after crashes of this kind in Michigan. Nothing here assumes anything about fault, insurance status, or the circumstances of any person involved in this crash, which remain under investigation.
This Stretch of Road
Pennsylvania Road runs east–west across Huron Township, a largely rural community in southern Wayne County between New Boston and the Detroit Metro Airport corridor. The segment between Huron River Drive and Wayne Road passes homes on larger lots, with open stretches where traffic moves quickly and shoulders are narrow.
Roads of this type can be difficult for pedestrians, particularly during morning hours when sun glare and commuter traffic combine. The crash remains a reminder of how vulnerable people on foot are on high-speed two-lane roads.
If You Saw This Crash
Police are actively seeking witnesses and camera footage. If you drove Pennsylvania Road between Huron River Drive and Wayne Road on Monday morning — especially between about 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. — and have dashcam video, or if you have seen a white Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana with front passenger-side damage, call the Huron Township Police Department at 734-753-4400.
