A Constantine Township resident was seriously injured after being struck by a car last week on Constantine Road, north of Featherstone Road.
St. Joseph County Sheriff’s Department deputies responded around 10:30 p.m. Thursday to the location of the incident.
Investigators said the victim was speaking to a motorist inside a car facing northbound in the southbound lane of Constantine Road. The stationary car had its headlights on, authorities said.
Meanwhile, a second motorist was traveling southbound and unable to determine which lane the parked vehicle was in. The motorist ultimately swerved his vehicle to the right and struck the pedestrian.
The victim was airlifted to an undisclosed medical facility. Drivers of both vehicles were taken to an area hospital for blood draws. It is not clear if alcohol or controlled substances are factors in this incident, deputies said.
