Blowdell Haynes, the mother of the person Johnson was assisting, shared the distressing news on Facebook. “He was helping my daughter with her car battery when they were hit by another vehicle, trapping him between the cars,” she wrote, urging others to pray for his recovery.

Haynes expressed hope, saying, “Let us all pray that he is able to walk again!”

Alexander’s family provided an update to ABC’s WXYZ station, revealing that he has lost sensation below his right knee and undergone several surgeries due to a severely broken leg. His mother, Whitney Johnson, shared his disheartened words: “I just wanted to stop and help. I’m never going to stop and help ever again.” Despite his feelings, she encourages him to continue his kind deeds.

The accident occurred when Johnson stopped to assist Haynes’ 16-year-old daughter, who was stranded near Van Born Road and John Daly Street in Dearborn Heights. The incident took place around 5:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve, while Johnson was out buying eggs for his grandmother.

Alexander was jump-starting the vehicle belonging to Haynes’ 16-year-old daughter after seeing her stranded near the intersection of Van Born Road and John Daly Street in Dearborn Heights. The teen was picking up eggs for his grandmother when the crash unfolded around 5:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve.

“I honestly don’t know how this could not be a case of distracted driving,” William Johnson, Alexander’s father, told WXYZ. “There were no skid marks on the road or anything like that. It doesn’t even look like he attempted to stop.”

The Dearborn Heights Police Department has reported that there is no suspicion that alcohol was a factor in the crash. The incident is being reviewed by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office for possible charges. The driver who is believed to have caused the crash has not been identified.

“I hope he gets wind of this and that person truly feels bad and has remorse for what he’s done,” William Johnson said. “Maybe he’ll step up and tell the truth.”

Alexander’s recovery is expected to take months and possibly even years, according to the Johnson family. The prosecutor’s office did not respond to Law&Crime’s requests for comment.
