Tran Longmoore Editor

A 20-year-old Ypsilanti woman was killed in a single-vehicle crash on Michigan Avenue in Pittsfield Township early Wednesday morning.

The crash occurred around 3:30 a.m.

Pittsfield police say a 19-year-old man from Indianapolis was driving a car on eastbound on Michigan Avenue, near Sauk Trail, when he lost control, crossed over the westbound lanes and struck several trees. The driver was found with serious injuries that are not life-threatening, police said. Joni Schanck, the passenger in the vehicle, died at the scene of the crash.

Police are investigating whether speed was a factor in the crash.

The road was closed for several hours.

The city hiring process doesn't pass the sniff test. The schools have issues too. This is looking systemic.

What is going on at city hall? Like the schools, we need independent investigations to reveal the facts and the truths and a review of the activities being conducted publicly and behind closed door. Impropriety seems to be real but we won’t know without an independent investigation.

Correction: “Tremblay DOES NOT know Rice. Rice simply knows of Tremblay and the incredible work he’s done in service to his country.” My husband served with him more than 10 years ago.
