Former state rep suffers spinal cord injury after bicycle hits unmarked pipe

A former Michigan state representative was in critical condition early Friday afternoon, Nov. 13, at a local hospital after hitting an unmarked sewer pipe in Orion Township while riding his bike, according to local officials. Former Republican State Rep. John Reilly, 68, was biking to a local church early Wednesday, Nov. 11, when he hit a pipe that lay over the sidewalk on North Axford Street near the Orion Township post office. He suffered a spinal cord injury, two fractured vertebrae and a brain injury, according to Orion Township Supervisor Chris Barnett. The Oakland County Sheriff's Office's Crisis Response Unit documented the scene and is investigating the circumstances of the crash, according to Tyler Sweers, an agency spokesperson. John Reilly's wife, Karen Reilly, said her husband was biking to St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Lake Orion, where he leads a men's Bible study on Wednesday mornings. She said her husband "snapped his neck back" when he crashed. "There were no cones or anything around" the pipe, said Karen Reilly. Barnett said the pipe was part of an Oakland County Water Resources Commission project that began Oct. 26 and was supposed to be done that week. Barnett said he "didn't know

This popular pickup’s new features will shake up the competition

TUCSON, Ariz. – The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado HD pickups look familiar, but under the skin they’re new in ways that will make a huge difference to the owners who use them for everything from hauling million-dollar horses to emergency utility work. New steering and brakes change the heavy duty trucks’ character, making them easier to drive than ever before, even when pulling their new towing capacity – 38,000 pounds, a full ton more than the current model. Built in Flint, Michigan, the 2027 Silverado 2500 and 3500 HDs are scheduled to go on sale late this year. I drove Silverado HDs on everything from a closed track to suburban roads, desert highways and a rugged off-road course. I also towed a 36,000-pound trailer loaded with landscaping materials on a closed course. I don't have the commercial driver's license needed to legally pilot a rig that size on public roads. What I liked about new 'feel' The new steering and brakes are a revelation. Competitive heavy-duty pickups ― the Ford F-series Super Duty and Ram 2500 and 3500 ― use another type of steering called recirculating ball. It used to be common on cars and pickups, but has been widely replaced

Predictions: Michigan State football vs. Washington

Angelique S. Chengelis, Connor Earegood, John Niyo, and Bob Wojnowski of The Detroit News predict the outcome of Saturday's Michigan State-Washington game at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing (4:15 p.m., Big Ten Network/760 AM) . ▶ Angelique S. Chengelis: Most expected MSU head coach Pat Fitzgerald would have his Spartans fired up for the annual in-state rivalry game against Michigan, and he did. The Spartans have not made winning a habit — yet — but considering the number of injury setbacks, Fitzgerald still manages to get them to play hard. The Spartans need to win out to reach bowl eligibility and that starts with Washington, which has had it shares of struggles during Big Ten play (the Huskies are 2-4). Michigan State will have to duplicate its defensive performance and also its run game from the Michigan game, and will have to generate touchdowns, although Liam Boyd's five field goals certainly were enough last weekend. Pick: Washington, 20-16 ▶ Connor Earegood: What will make MSU's win over Michigan even sweeter is if the Spartans can turn this momentum into a bowl game. That's the marching orders heading into this game against Washington, where a mobile quarterback in Demond Williams Jr.
