Good morning, Battle Creek.

Today at 6:20 a.m. a crash at the intersection of Verona Road—H Drive North in Marshall Township killed a 56-year-old driver from Battle Creek and injured a 38-year-old man expected to survive as deputies continue investigating.

Two Battle Creek men, ages 37 and 42, were arrested Tuesday after officers seized about a pound of meth during a traffic stop — detectives later executed a search warrant in Springfield Township as investigators prepared to request additional charges for drug dealing and obstructing police.

A new $10 million entrance at the Battle Creek Air National Guard Base opened on July 11th and redirected traffic from West Dickman Road to improve safety and security—new gatehouse, inspection area, and barriers now support the base’s cyber operations and drone missions.
