DALTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Authorities are investigating a hit-and-run that injured a teen as he prepared to board his school bus in Muskegon County Tuesday.
It happened shortly before 7 a.m. near the intersection of Russell and E. Tyler roads in Dalton Township, north of Muskegon. It was still dark at the time.
On the scene, Michigan State Police Spl. Lt. David Cope said that as a school bus stopped to pick up kids, a northbound car passed it from behind and hit two 14-year-old siblings, a boy and a girl. The boy was injured, but the girl is OK.
In emails to the school community provided to News 8, Reeths-Puffer Schools Superintendent Steve Edwards identified the boy as Tajen Pannell, an eighth-grader.
Edwards said the boy’s father informed him that Tajen appears to have two broken legs and that he was being treated at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids.
MSP said the bus’s lights were flashing when the crash happened.
