Good morning, Battle Creek.

A suspected drunk driver flipped a car in a parking lot near +Irving Park Drive and Parkway Drive+ just after 1 a.m., killing an 18-year-old man and critically injuring a 17-year-old girl when both were thrown from the vehicle, and police arrested the driver on charges of operating while intoxicated and reckless driving.

Michigan dog mushers Destinee Kiel and Danielle Usher will race their teams in the dryland world championships in Minocqua, Wisconsin from October 21—26; Kiel will drive a three-wheel rig on a 3.1-mile course while Usher steers a scooter on a 2.4-mile course.

They rely on strong training and teamwork—key factors for a top finish—in this tough race.

Grant Wolfram, a left-handed relief pitcher for the Orioles and West Michigan native, earned his first major league win by striking out four on July 10 and returned home during the All-Star break to visit his old school with former coach Ken DeGood — he will travel with the team to Tampa for their first game after the break on July 18.
