E-bike injuries rising among kids as Corewell Health doctors warn parents about speed, safety risks
E-bikes have exploded in popularity among adults, teens, and even some tweens. But as more people are riding them, injuries have increased, too.

A Detroit family visited 19-year-old’s grave for years. Then a stranger’s headstone appeared
The family of 19-year-old Roland Moore says they spent years visiting his gravesite, believing he was buried alone, until they learned a decade later that another person had been placed in the same grave.
Moore was killed in 2011. His family says they routinely visit his headstone at Gethsemane Cemetery, located near the Coleman A. Young International Airport, marking holidays, birthdays and the anniversary of his death.
In 2021, Moore’s sister, Carlessta Bell, said she arrived at the gravesite and saw a new headstone placed directly in front of her brother’s marker — for a woman the family does not know. The woman also died in 2011.
