BYRON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Kent County sheriff’s deputies are investigating after a woman was struck by a vehicle in the driveway of her home.
It happened at 2:08 Saturday in the 7000 block of Mindew Drive in Byron Township.
Deputies say a 9-year-old boy was in the driver’s seat of his great aunt, 56-year-old Jan Junewick’s, SUV while waiting for her to come out of the home to leave. Witnesses told deputies that Junewick was standing next to the open driver-side door of the vehicle when it suddenly accelerated in reverse, knocking Junewick to the ground. The SUV then continued into the road and struck a parked car.
