‘There will be serious consequences’: Lansing mayor says about street racing crash

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) -- Lansing Mayor Andy Schor is speaking out about Thursday night's street racing crash that left 13 people injured, including a child. According to police, the drivers of two vehicles were speeding while racing each other southbound on MLK Jr. Blvd. when another driver made a lawful turn from Pierce Rd. onto MLK Jr. Blvd. This led to the speeding drivers hitting the turning vehicle, followed by those three vehicles colliding with two other vehicles. During the crash, two people from one of the speeding vehicles were ejected. These are the two unnamed people who are in critical condition, police say. Less than a day later, the mayor says those involved will be held accountable. Police closed all roads in the area of the crash overnight for the investigation and reopened them around 4 a.m. Friday. Police are not releasing any names of those involved at this time, or who or how many people were in each vehicle, including the child. Police are also not confirming the condition of the other 11 people involved in this crash. As of 9:30 a.m., no one has been arrested, according to police, and it is unknown if anyone has been ticketed.
