WYOMING, Mich. — Wyoming Department of Public Safety (WDPS) tells FOX 17 of two separate pedestrian crashes Tuesday.

The first was deadly. At this time, investigators would only identify the man hit as a 67 year-old man.

It happened at 32nd Street and Division Avenue around 6:40 a.m. when the pedestrian crossed South Division Avenue. WDPS says he was not using a crosswalk. The driver stayed behind at the scene and cooperated with authorities.

Division Avenue's southbound lanes south of 32nd Street are closed while investigations take place.

The second crash happened shortly after at 44th St and Byron Center Avenue before 7 a.m.

Investigators confirmed a teen was hit and was seriously injured. We're told the 13-year-old boy was hospitalized in critical condition.

The driver also stayed behind in this case and spoke with investigators.

Both lanes on Byron Center Avenue are closed north of 44th Street.
