The fatal crash took place at about 8:10 p.m. near James A. Woody Park.

Reports sadid that Lawrence had finished volunteering for pee wee football when he started to walk. His step-mother and two younger siblings had crossed the road.

That is when an eastbound white or silver two-door coupe traveled on Ottawa Road at over 60 miles-per-hour and struck Lawrence.

Investigating officers said the suspect vehicle is a Nissan 350Z or an Infinity G35. Reports said the vehicle had tinted windows and extensive front-end damage. 

Witnesses said that the driver did not care and did not stop.

Road Accidents Can Be Fatal

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, more individuals are staying at home, whether by preference or under a state-mandated lockdown. As people adjust to unprecedented routines, a classic concept has risen in modern popularity: walking.

Americans, as well as others around the world, have taken it upon themselves to walk outside daily. Taking walks is usually the only time in which people are spending outside. The increase of foot traffic on local sidewalks, intersections, and roads seems harmless enough.

However, this timeless habit can have devastating consequences. Taking walks is becoming increasingly dangerous, leading to a surge of pedestrian accidents annually.
