A Clawson man was walking on Gardenia Avenue near Main Street when he was hit by a car. The 22-year-old victim was taken to the hospital. He was hit by a Dodge Stratus and the driver of the car did not stop after hitting the man.

Shortly after the accident was reported, a traffic crash was reported in the area of Dewey and Cody, northeast of the intersection of Main and Gardenia. A red Dodge Stratus had struck a fire hydrant.
