LANSING, Mich. — A man who was struck by a bus on Monday remains in critical but stable condition, a Lansing Police Department official confirmed Monday.
Police have not yet released the identity of the man.
Lansing PIO, Robert Merritt, said in an email it’s the department’s policy to not identify people who are injured in non-fatal accidents.
