TALLMADGE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Just before 10 p.m. Wednesday evening an intoxicated pedestrian attempted to cross five lanes of traffic on Lake Michigan Drive near 1st Avenue in Tallmadge Township before he was struck by a vehicle.

Judith Bradley, 62, was driving westbound on Lake Michigan Drive when she noticed the 26-year-old man attempting to cross the road before he ran into the side of her vehicle, she told police.
