Man working on I-94 construction project killed by bulldozer

JACKSON COUNTY, MI – A man was killed by a bulldozer while working on the I-94 construction project near the northbound U.S. 127 interchange in Jackson, police say. Police and rescue crews were called at 9:34 a.m. Tuesday, March 1 to the area of Shirley Drive near Clark Street for a report of a construction accident, according to the Blackman-Leoni Department of Public Safety. Officers arrived and found a construction worker, 35, of Jackson, had been run over by a bulldozer and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Judge wants more information on Flint bone scan facility before ruling on water crisis settlement

FLINT, MI -- A federal judge wants to know more about a bone-scanning facility that measured the lead in Flint residents’ bodies before making a final decision on whether to approve a historic $641-million civil settlement related to the city’s water crisis. Napoli Shkolnik established the Flint bone scan clinic to measure the lead in the bodies of its Flint clients after the settlement agreement it helped draft provided bigger payouts to residents whose bones showed elevated levels of lead. Reynolds asked Levy to allow him to supplement his objections to the bone scans after a Detroit Free Press report based on MIOSHA documents. The report said thousands of Flint residents were put at potential risk because bone scans were performed before the devices were registered with the state and before recommended safety measures were put in place at the Flint clinic. Reynolds’ motion said he has evidence that contradicts previous representations made to the judge regarding the safety of the bone scans as well as the scope and findings of a MIOSHA investigation into the Flint clinic.
