Washtenaw County child dies after being hit by car, authorities say
Washtenaw County deputies spent most of their Wednesday evening working a deadly collision after a child was hit by a car while riding a bike. "How I understood it, there was a child riding his bike to the neighborhood pool," one nearby resident told CBS News Detroit. Deputies say the driver of the car was an older man. As of now, it's unclear what led to the crash. "The case is still under investigation, so no arrests have been made at this time," Commander Eugene Rush with the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office. The incident happened on Tuttle Hill Road, right near Merritt Road. Authorities confirmed that crashes have happened along the roadway in the past. "I've lived out here for 13 years, and there's at least one accident here a year. There was one about two weeks ago," said Noah Blank, who lives near the crash site. It's unclear the child's age, but authorities are calling him a young juvenile. They also say the driver has been left distraught. "It is a tragedy, you have a young life that is lost. It's just a tragedy," Rush said. Neighbors call that part of the road a problem. They hope this collision will spur change from the local government. "We've been trying for years to get the county road commission to help us with the intersection, neither with more police patrols, a light, or a roundabout," Blank continued.

Late NHL star Johnny Gaudreau's widow recalls harrowing moment she was told her husband had been killed
The widow of late NHL star Johnny Gaudreau has opened up on the tragic moment she was told her husband and his brother Matthew had died in a tragic bicycle accident last year. Johnny, 31, and Matthew, 29, were both killed after being hit by a drunk driver while out cycling on a New Jersey highway the night before their sister's wedding in late August 2024. Their passing proved all the more painful given both men were awaiting the birth of children, with Matthew on the verge of becoming a father for the very first time. His wife, Madeline, eventually gave birth to their baby boy, Tripp Matthew, four months later. And in April of this year, Meredith - Johnny's wife of three years before his death - welcomed their third child and second son, Carter Michael. Just over two months since giving birth in heartbreaking circumstances, Meredith has recalled the moment she received the news that her husband and his younger brother had lost their lives in an emotional letter published by The Players' Tribune. Titled 'Thank You For Being Perfect, John', the letter shares a number of special moments from their relationship before moving on to that fateful day in August. 'You kissed all of us goodbye and said you'd see us later. And that was that,' she wrote. Meredith then revealed that Johnny and Matthew's sister Katie, whose wedding day had been shattered in the most harrowing way possible, initially alerted her to the bicycle accident. 'Katie called, and she said something had happened, but she didn't know what exactly,' she added. 'I was thinking the whole time about how I was going to help you through whatever it could be that had happened to Matty. 'And then I walked up the front porch and learned the absolute worst had happened and that it was both of you. 'There aren't any words to go here.' The mom of three said the pain was 'completely indescribable.' 'I was keeled over for days, sick to my stomach,' she continued. 'The only person who can relate to me is my own sister-in-law. I see her and my heart breaks for her. 'I'm sick for her. We had just celebrated their gender reveal. We were all just down the shore together and had so much fun. Matty made me laugh so much that weekend.' Johnny, an NHL veteran who was poised to enter his third season with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2024, married Meredith back in September 2021. The couple then welcomed their first child, daughter Noa, a year later, and son Johnny as recently as March 2024. In a tearful tribute at his funeral back in September, Gaudreau's widow revealed she was pregnant with their third baby following his tragic passing, before giving birth to Carter Michael on April 1, 2025. She concluded in her Players' Tribune letter: 'I love you so much. I miss you every second of every day. I miss you more and more every day as well. My love grows deeper for you each day too.'
