Clio, MI – Pedestrian Injured in Crash on I-75

Clio, MI (March 21, 2025) – A serious accident on Interstate 75 in Clio led to a major roadway closure on the evening of March 20. The crash, which involved a pedestrian, prompted authorities to shut down both directions of I-75 and Vienna Road (Michigan 57) over the freeway.

According to the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office, a male pedestrian was found lying in the roadway following the incident. Emergency responders, including the Clio Fire Department, arrived at the scene to provide medical aid. The pedestrian’s identity has not yet been confirmed, and the extent of his injuries remains unknown. As of the latest reports, northbound I-75 has reopened to traffic, while the southbound lanes remain closed as authorities continue their investigation into the crash.

Our thoughts are with the injured pedestrian, and we hope for a full recovery.

Pedestrian Accidents in Michigan

Pedestrian accidents are a serious concern across Michigan. In 2022, the state recorded over 2,000 pedestrian-related crashes, many of which resulted in severe injuries or fatalities. These accidents often occur at night and in high-traffic areas where visibility is reduced, increasing the risk for those on foot.

Pedestrian injuries tend to be severe due to the lack of protection in a collision with a motor vehicle. Some of the most common injuries include:

• Head Trauma – Pedestrians involved in crashes often suffer concussions or traumatic brain injuries, which can have lasting effects on cognitive function and quality of life.
• Broken Bones – The force of impact can lead to fractures in the legs, arms, ribs, and other areas, often requiring extensive medical treatment.
• Internal Injuries – Blunt force trauma from a vehicle can cause internal bleeding or organ damage, which may not be immediately apparent but can be life-threatening.
• Spinal Cord Injuries – Depending on the severity of the impact, victims may suffer partial or full paralysis, requiring long-term medical care and rehabilitation.
• Lacerations and Soft Tissue Damage – Cuts, bruises, and muscle injuries are common in pedestrian accidents and can lead to lasting pain and scarring.
