11/16/12 - A local pedestrian was hit by a car while walking in Genoa Township early Friday morning. The Livingston County Sheriffâs Department reports that 75-year-old Lora Ann Wilkinson was struck by a vehicle that had turned onto Figurski Drive from Latson Road at 6:43am. Sheriff Bob Bezotte says Wilkinson lives in area and walks every morning but the area is poorly lit and witnesses said she could not be seen because of the darkness and what she was wearing. He says preliminary investigation shows she may have actually walked into the side of the vehicle. Bezotte says Wilkinson was alert and talking after the incident and she was transported to the University of Michigan Hospital for treatment of what were believed to be non-life threatening injuries.
