On Monday, August 30, 2021 at approximately 3:35 p.m., Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office deputies from the Pennfield Division were dispatched to Morgan Rd. near M66 for a personal injury accident involving a pedestrian. Upon arrival, units found that a 15-year-old male, Pennfield High School student, was crossing the road and was struck by a vehicle. The male was transported to Bronson Battle Creek Hospital by LifeCare Ambulance with non-life threating injuries. An investigation concluded that the male had been running westbound along the shoulder. He ran between two cars stopped for the traffic light and into the path of a vehicle traveling eastbound. Speed, alcohol, drugs, nor distracted driving appear to be factors in the accident. The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office was assisted by Pennfield Township Fire and LifeCare Ambulance.
