A 12-year-old Williamston boy was killed and his 13-year-old sister suffered life-threatening injuries Saturday after a Ford Explorer struck them while they were riding bicycles on the shoulder of Grand River Avenue near North Meech Road in Leroy Township. The 64-year-old Williamston woman driving the SUV was not injured, and Michigan State Police said drugs or alcohol do not appear to have contributed to the crash; both children were wearing helmets. The investigation remains ongoing, and police reminded motorists to remain alert, slow down and give bicyclists at least three feet of space when passing.

Mark Sanchez agrees to plead guilty in Indianapolis stabbing case

Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez plans to plead guilty in the Indianapolis downtown alley stabbing/assault case, with a sentencing hearing targeted for November after a plea agreement is finalized with prosecutors. The charges include a felony battery count and several misdemeanors stemming from the Oct. 4, 2025 confrontation with a 69-year-old truck driver, involving entering the truck without permission, a physical altercation, pepper spray, and a later stabbing; the plea would likely end the scheduled jury trial.
