DETROIT, Mich. (FOX 2) - Eastern Market CEO Dan Carmody and his wife, Vivian, were struck by a car Friday night while walking to dinner at St. Aubin and Lafayette.
The Detroit Police Department says the crash happened around 5:30 p.m. Friday. A man in his 20s was driving and struck two pedestrians before crashing into a tree, police say.
Medics arrived and transported the pedestrians and the driver to the hospital. The driver is listed in critical condition.
Dan is in stable condition at Detroit Receiving Hospital and undergoing ankle surgery today. Sadly, Vivian did not survive her injuries according to a representative of the Eastern Market.
"The Eastern Market family is deeply sorry for the Carmody family and will give our full support to Dan and his family through this incredibly sad and difficult time," said President Katy Trudeau.
Trudeau will act as CEO while Dan recovers from his injuries with the support of the Eastern Market Board of Directors and Board President, Cindy Pasky.
