76-Year-Old Woman Dies After Being Hit While Crossing Street in Grand Blanc

This is just awful.

When I read something like this, I can’t help but think about my own mother. This could have easily been her, your mom, or really anyone we love. You should be able to walk through a crosswalk safely without something like this happening. I get that accidents happen, but still.

A 76-year-old woman was hit by a vehicle while crossing South Saginaw Street at Reid Road in Grand Blanc shortly after 9 a.m. Saturday.

Police say a 34-year-old Grand Blanc woman was driving east on Reid Road and turning left onto South Saginaw Street when she hit the woman in the crosswalk.

That intersection is always busy, especially on a Saturday morning. Still, it’s hard to wrap your head around something like this. She was simply crossing the street when everything went terribly wrong.
