Woman hospitalized after car-train crash in Ann Arbor Twp.
Authorities say a 23-year-old Livonia woman who drove her car into an oncoming train in Ann Arbor Township Friday is in stable condition.
Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office says the woman's 2006 Ford Focus struck a train while it was crossing Pontiac Trail at 4:30 a.m. The car was badly damaged and pushed into a ditch.
The train operator didn't immediately notice the collision and continued. However, another train crossing that location at about 6 a.m. called 911.
The driver was pinned down, but Ann Arbor firefighters were able to free her using extraction tools. The woman, who was transported to a nearby hospital, is expected to fully recover from her injuries.

Woman who tumbled with Meijer cart loses case
Flint — The Michigan appeals court says Meijer shoppers should have no trouble seeing a 12-foot crack in the parking lot.
The court has reversed the decision of a Genesee County judge and thrown out a lawsuit filed by a 42-year-old shopper in Flint. Deborah Hudspeth says she was pushing her cart through a Meijer parking lot in 2009 when the wheels caught a crack. The cart tipped over and so did Hudspeth, who suffered injuries.

Paralyzed snowboarder loses lawsuit against Boyne
Boyne Falls — A man paralyzed while snowboarding at Boyne Mountain Ski Resort has failed to persuade the state appeals court to reinstate his lawsuit.
Patrick N. Anderson says a certain jump was not obvious before he was badly injured in Boyne's terrain park. His expert says the jump should have been constructed in a safer way.
But the appeals court pointed to a state law and ruled in favor of Boyne. The law grants immunity to ski area operators and says skiers and snowboarders know there are dangers when they hit the slopes.
The court says Anderson would have seen the jump if he heeded all signs and warnings.

Boy, 2, father hurt following off-road collision in West Michigan

Blind lawyer sues in NYC accident
Michigan disability rights activist Richard Bernstein, severely injured when a bicyclist hit him last month in Central Park, is suing the city of New York and its transportation department, alleging they violated the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Bernstein, who is blind, was walking in Central Park's pedestrian lane on Aug. 13, training for his 18th marathon, when a distracted cyclist plowed into him from behind, shattering the Birmingham attorney's hip and hip socket.
Bernstein said Thursday that doctors still don't know if he'll ever be able to run another marathon as he recuperates at New York's Mount Sinai Hospital. Still, Bernstein is determined to have something positive come out of "this horrible situation," he said.
