MAN KILLED WHEN HIT BY CAR

   A 23 year-old Gladwin man was fatally injured early Tuesday morning when he was struck while walking on M-18 about three miles north of Meredith in Roscommon County. Houghton Lake State Police said David E. Pero, 23, was killed about 3:10 a.m. when he was struck by George A. Pete, 24, of Detroit. Officers said Pero was walking north in the southbound lane and was about a half mile from where his car was in the ditch. Pete said he attempted to miss the victim and lost control of his vehicle and went into the ditch where his car rolled, they said. He escaped injury. Pero was the first traffic fatality for Roscommon County in 1973.
