Authorities in Oakland Township say a 77-year-old Northville woman is in critical condition after a high-speed crash Saturday evening on East Gunn Road. Deputies responded just before 5 p.m. to a single-vehicle wreck near a curved stretch east of Cook Court, where the woman reportedly tried to pass traffic. Investigators say she swerved to avoid an oncoming bicyclist, lost control of her Volvo, and hit a tree. A 12-year-old passenger was not hurt. Speed is believed to be a factor, and the crash remains under investigation.

More than 80 years after his death in World War II, a Croswell soldier has finally been laid to rest at home. Corporal George Sepsey, a Croswell High School graduate, was killed in Papua New Guinea in 1942 at age 24, but his remains were never identified. His mother spent years searching for answers and even reserved a gravesite for him before her death. In ’25, his family learned his remains had been identified. Last Saturday Sepsey was buried in Croswell, fulfilling his mother’s long-held wish.
