Fowlerville woman killed when struck by car while outside her van
A 62-year-old Fowlerville woman was killed on Dec. 14th when she was struck by a car while outside her van on Elm Road in Leroy Township. The victim was identified as Sheri Lynn Schoenfield.
A report from the Ingham County Sheriff Department stated that at approximately 11:40 a.m. on that date first responders were sent to Elm Road between Holt and Van Orden, Leroy Township, for a car vs. pedestrian crash.
It went on to say that “The deceased was traveling northbound on Elm with an adult passenger. She stopped abruptly for a deer crossing the road which caused cargo in her van to shift. The woman exited her vehicle and attempted to re-secure the cargo. Another vehicle, driven by a 44 year old Webberville woman accompanied by a minor child, was northbound Elm Road approaching the stopped van. During the time the northbound vehicle maneuvered around the van a collision occurred with the female pedestrian.”
Northern Ingham Emergency Services authorities and one of Sheriff deputies initiated CPR and other life-saving measures at the scene. “Unfortunately, her injuries were too severe and she was pronounced deceased in the ambulance,” the report stated. “The other female motorist and child were transported to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.”
Investigators, it was noted, learned that both the pedestrian and on coming vehicle may have taken evasive maneuvers to avoid colliding. The Ingham Regional Crash Investigation Team was activated. The Michigan State Police also assisted with resources on scene and at the hospital.
