NOW A BEAUTIFUL DAY ON BELLE ISLE. >> THE SUN IS SHINING.
TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 80S. AS
MANY OF YOU GET READY OR MAYBE
ALREADY HAVE GRILLED OUT UP
NORTH, NOT A CLOUD IN SIGHT. YOU
CAN SEE THE FLAGS FLYING FOR
MEMORIAL DAY AND BOATS OUT ON
THE WATER IN CHARLEVOIX. WE KNOW
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HEADING HOME
FROM THAT LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
HERE’S A LIVE LOOK AT I-75 SOUTH
IN AUBURN HILLS WHERE THINGS
APPEAR TO BE SMOOTH. AND WE
START TONIGHT AT FIVE WITH YOUR
4WARN WEATHER I’M KIMBERLY GILL.
GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. I’M
KAREN DREW IN FOR DEVIN
METEOROLOGY. KIM ADAMS IS HERE
WITH YOUR GRILLING FORECAST AND
ALSO A WARM UP THIS WEEK. HEY
KIM. HEY KAREN AND KIMBERLY.
>> WELL, I BET THE TRAFFIC’S NOT
HEAVY IN PART BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE
EXCITED SPENDING THEIR TIME UP
NORTH WHEN IT’S A RAINY MEMORIAL
DAY, WHICH WE’VE HAD, ARE
PROBABLY COMING BACK A LITTLE
EARLIER. BUT YOU WANT TO HAVE AS
MUCH TIME YOU CAN AS YOU CAN TO
ENJOY IT, BECAUSE TEMPERATURES
RIGHT NOW, EVEN UP NORTH ARE IN
THE 80S. IT’S 81 NOW IN MOUNT
CLEMENS, IT WAS 79 LAST HOUR,
84IN PONTIAC, 86 CITY AIRPORT
AND MID 80S AT METRO, A LITTLE
WARMER THAN IT WAS YESTERDAY,
NOT BY A WHOLE LOT BY ABOUT 2 TO
5 DEGREES, THREE DEGREES WARMER
IN MOUNT CLEMENS, FOUR DEGREES
WARMER IN PONTIAC THIS EVENING.
TEMPERATURES STAY IN THE 80S ALL
THE WAY THROUGH 8:00 TONIGHT.
AND THEN WE FALL DOWN INTO THE
60S BY MIDNIGHT. NOW TOMORROW, A
LITTLE BIT WARMER THAN IT WAS
TODAY. A NICE DAY WITH HIGHS
BACK INTO THE MID 80S. A COUPLE
PLACES TOUCHING EVEN THE UPPER
80S WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE IN.
BUT YOU KNOW WE CAN’T HANG ON TO
DRY WEATHER FOREVER. SO I’LL
TELL YOU WHEN THIS PATTERN IS
GOING TO BREAK COMING UP. ALL
RIGHT, KIM, OUR OTHER TOP STORY,
THE SEARCH FOR A HIT AND RUN
DRIVER WHO KILLED AN INNOCENT
WOMAN AND SIX PEOPLE TO THE
HOSPITAL ON DETROIT’S WEST SIDE.
>> THE IMPACT OF THE FIERY CRASH
SENT A CAR INTO A BUILDING ON
GRAND RIVER NOT FAR FROM THE
SOUTHFIELD FREEWAY. AND THIS IS
ALL THAT IS LEFT OF IT. IT WAS
TOO DANGEROUS TO LET THE
BUILDING STAY STANDING. SEAN LEY
JOINS US LIVE WITH WHERE THIS
INVESTIGATION STANDS TONIGHT.
SEAN, LET’S START RIGHT HERE.
>> THIS IS WHAT’S LEFT OF THAT
BUILDING, THE CAR COMING
CAREENING RIGHT HERE OFF OF
GRAND RIVER. IT’S UNCLEAR THE
ROLE OF THE OTHER CAR. THE
DRIVER HERE, WERE THEY RACING?
DID THEY CLIP? IT’S UNCLEAR
RIGHT NOW, BUT THE CAR WITH
SEVEN PEOPLE INSIDE SLAMS INTO
THE BUILDING. IT COMES TO REST
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUILDING.
THE CAR CATCHES FIRE, THE
BUILDING COLLAPSES ON TOP OF IT.
WE WATCHED VIDEO OF PEOPLE
RUNNING FROM THIS GAS STATION TO
TRY TO HELP. THEY GOT SIX OF THE
PASSENGERS OUT. THEY COULD NOT
REACH THE DRIVER LOCAL 4
OBTAINING THIS SECURITY CAMERA
VIDEO OF THIS HORRIBLE CRASH. WE
CAN’T SHOW YOU THE IMPACT THAT
OF A CAR SLAMMING INTO A
BUILDING ON GRAND RIVER NEAR THE
SOUTHFIELD FREEWAY. IT’S JUST
TOO GRAPHIC. BUT THIS VIDEO
SHOWS YOU THE AFTER MATH TO PORT
HURON DRIVE A BUILDING 50 BY
100FT.
>> THAT’S ON FIRE. AND GOING
THROUGHOUT. WE HAVE COLLAPSED.
WE’RE GOING DEFENSIVE.
>> WHEN DETROIT FIRE ARRIVED
HERE, A BUILDING WAS ON FIRE.
THIS IS WHAT THE BUILDING LOOKED
LIKE BEFORE THE FIRE. THE FIRE
CAUSED BY A CAR CAREENING OFF OF
GRAND RIVER OUT OF CONTROL AT A
HIGH RATE OF SPEED, SLAMMING
INTO THE BUILDING. THE CAR
STOPPED INSIDE THE BUILDING AND
CAUGHT FIRE. FIREFIGHTERS THEN
MAKING A SHOCKING DISCOVERY THIS
T4.
>> I NEED MY MEDICS. I HAVE FOUR
PEOPLE. THAT’S DOWN FROM THIS
ACCIDENT.
>> SEVEN PEOPLE WERE IN THE
CHRYSLER 300 WHEN IT CRASHED
INTO THE BUILDING. PEOPLE NEARBY
HELPED GET SIX PEOPLE OUT OF THE
CAR. THAT’S WHEN THE BUILDING
COLLAPSED. ON TOP OF THE CAR,
THE DRIVER WAS KILLED. FAMILY
AND FRIENDS IDENTIFYING THE
DRIVER AS TAMIYA BRYANT. FAMILY
AND FRIENDS DEVASTATED BY HER
LOSS. POLICE TELL US ANOTHER
DRIVER CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE
CAR BRYANT WAS DRIVING BEFORE
THE CRASH, LEADING TO THE
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT AND FIRE. AND
THAT DRIVER DID NOT STOP. BACK
HERE LIVE VERY LITTLE TO GO ON
ABOUT THE SECOND DRIVER, SECOND
CAR THAT MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED
IN THIS VERY, VERY LITTLE TO GO
OF. INVESTIGATORS WILL BE
LOOKING FOR VIDEO OF THAT
PARTICULAR VEHICLE. BUT AGAIN,
IT DIDN’T STOP. IT’S VERY
UNCLEAR WHAT THE ROLE OF THE
OTHER DRIVER WAS RIGHT HERE.
WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT WE SAW
THE VIDEO OF PEOPLE PULLING SIX
PEOPLE OUT OF THE CAR HERE THEY
ARE AT THE HOSPITAL WITH
NON-LIFE THREATENING INJURIES.
SOME HAVE ALREADY BEEN RELEASED
. KIMBERLY AND KAREN, THEY CAME
BACK HERE TO LOOK AT THIS
WRECKAGE TO PAY HOMAGE TO THEIR
FRIEND. VERY POPULAR YOUNG LADY
KILLED RIGHT HERE. JUST A
HORRIBLE CRASH. BACK TO YOU.
HORRIBLE. ALL RIGHT.
>> THANK YOU, SEAN. WE
APPRECIATE IT. OKAY. ANOTHER
DEADLY SITUATION OUT ON THE
ROADS OVERNIGHT. A WRONG-WAY
DRIVER HITS A CAR HEAD ON ALONG
THE SOUTHFIELD FREEWAY IN
DEARBORN. POLICE SAY A 31 YEAR
OLD WOMAN FROM TAYLOR WAS
DRIVING SOUTHBOUND IN THE
NORTHBOUND LANES WHEN SHE HIT AN
SUV NEAR FORD ROAD. THE WRONG
WAY DRIVER WAS KILLED. A
PASSENGER IN THE SUV, A WOMAN
FROM REDFORD, WAS TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
SHE’S UNDERGOING SURGERY. THE
DRIVER OF THE SUV WAS TAKEN TO
THE HOSPITAL AND RELEASED. STATE
POLICE SAY THEY DON’T KNOW IF
THE WRONG WAY DRIVER WAS DRUNK.
THEY ARE WAITING ON THE RESULTS
FROM AN AUTOPSY. THE NEXT TEST
IN THE DEBT LIMIT DEADLINE COMES
TOMORROW. THAT’S WHEN HOUSE
LAWMAKERS WILL CONSIDER THE DEAL
REACHED OVER THE WEEKEND BY
PRESIDENT BIDEN AND HOUSE
SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY. THE
AGREEMENT WOULD CUT SPENDING AND
SUSPEND THE DEBT CEILING THROUGH
JANUARY FIRST OF 2025. BUT AS
DREW PETRIMOULX REPORTS FROM
WASHINGTON NOW, THEY MUST
CONVINCE DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS TO AGREE TO THE
TERMS DREW. KIMBERLY THAT
DEADLINE IS NOW JUST ONE WEEK
AWAY, AND MOST LAWMAKERS ARE
BACK IN THEIR DISTRICTS FOR THE
HOLIDAY AS THEY TRICKLE BACK TO
WASHINGTON.
>> THEY’LL FACE A TIGHT DEADLINE
TO GET THE PLAN PASSED IN TIME
TO AVOID DEFAULT. AFTER MONTHS
OF HAND-WRINGING AND DEEP FEARS
OF A CATASTROPHIC DEFAULT,
PRESIDENT BIDEN TELLING THE
NATION HE’S STRUCK A DEAL WITH
THE REPUBLICAN SPEAKER OF THE
HOUSE.
>> WE’VE REACHED A BIPARTISAN
BUDGET AGREEMENT THAT WE’RE
READY TO MOVE TO THE FULL
CONGRESS.
>> I THINK ONCE PEOPLE READ THE
BILL, THEY’LL BE PRETTY EXCITED.
BUT MOST IMPORTANT, IT’S AMERICA
WINS ON THIS ONE.
>> THE DEAL INCLUDES A TWO YEAR
DEBT LIMIT EXTENSION WHILE
CALLING FOR SPENDING ON MOST
ITEMS NEXT YEAR TO REMAIN
ROUGHLY THE SAME, IT CLAWS BACK
$30 BILLION IN UNSPENT COVID
FUNDS AND INCREASES WORK
REQUIREMENTS FOR SOME PEOPLE ON
FOOD STAMPS.
>> A TOP PRIORITY FOR
REPUBLICANS.
>> WE DID A CONFERENCE CALL WITH
OUR CONFERENCE AND OVER 95% WERE
OVERWHELMINGLY EXCITED ABOUT
WHAT THEY SEE.
>> BUT THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO
MEDICAID. SOME STUDENT DEBT
RELIEF OR CLIMATE CHANGE
LEGISLATION. ALL PRIORITIES FOR
DEMOCRATS AND THE PRESIDENT WILL
GET ALL OF WHAT I WANT.
>> NO. WILL THEY GET ALL OF WHAT
THEY WANT? NO BUT I’M VERY
PLEASED THAT WE’RE IN A GOOD
PLACE.
>> BUT SOME OF THE MOST
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS ARE
CRITICIZING THE DEAL, SAYING IT
DOESN’T GO FAR ENOUGH TO CUT
SPENDING. SOME LIBERAL DEMOCRATS
ARE ALSO LEERY OF CONCESSIONS
MADE BY THE PRESIDENT. I’M NOT
HAPPY WITH SOME OF THE THINGS
I’M HEARING ABOUT. THERE’S STILL
HARD WORK TO BE DONE ON BOTH
SIDES TO GET THE BILL THROUGH
CONGRESS ON A TIGHT DEADLINE.
BUT ON THIS MEMORIAL DAY, AS THE
NATION PAUSES TO PAY TRIBUTE TO
THE COUNTRY’S FALLEN HEROES
MEMBERS OF BOTH PARTIES NOTING
THE DEAL PROTECTS DEFENSE
SPENDING AND PROGRAMS FOR
VETERANS. A HOUSE COMMITTEE
PLANS TO START WORKING ON THE
BILL TOMORROW. A VOTE OF THE
FULL HOUSE IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
EVENING. THEN IT HEADS TO THE
SENATE, WHERE LEADERS FROM BOTH
PARTIES ARE URGING SWIFT PASSAGE
IN WASHINGTON, DREW PETRIMOULX,
LOCAL 4 AND THE DEBT DEAL WOULD
REINSTATE STUDENT LOAN PAYMENTS
AND THE ACCRUAL OF INTEREST IN
LATE AUGUST PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN
PAUSED SINCE THE START OF THE
PANDEMIC.
>> WE’LL, OF COURSE, KEEP YOU
POSTED ON WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
THIS MEMORIAL DAY IN METRO
DETROIT, WE ARE REMEMBERING THE
MEN AND WOMEN WHO GAVE THEIR
LIVES TO FIGHT FOR OUR FREEDOM
IN STERLING HEIGHTS. THE THEME
FOR THIS YEAR’S CEREMONY WAS
VICTORY THROUGH UNITY, THERE WAS
A PARADE AND A FLYOVER OF
AUTHENTIC TUSKEGEE AIRMEN. WORLD
WAR TWO PLANES. THAT’S JUST ONE
COMMUNITY SHOWING OFF ITS
PATRIOTISM TODAY FROM STERLING
HEIGHTS. WE HEAD TO DEARBORN,
WHERE A NICK MONACELLI SPENT THE
MORNING WITH PEOPLE AS THEY
HONOR THE FALLEN ON THIS
MEMORIAL DAY.
>> DEARBORN SHUTS DOWN MICHIGAN
AVENUE FOR MAKING WAY FOR THE
BANDS, THE VETERANS AND THE
CROWDS.
>> DIVERSE CROWDS WITH DIVERSE
THOUGHTS ON HONORING WHAT
MEMORIAL DAY IS REALLY FOR. I
THINK WE HAVE TO FIRST REMEMBER
THE REASON FOR THE HOLIDAY,
WHICH IS REMEMBERING THE FALLEN
AND ALSO THINK ABOUT THE ONES
WHO ARE STILL SERVING, YOU KNOW
, FAMILIES SOME DAYS OR, YOU
KNOW, ONE DAY OF THE WEEKEND.
>> BUT THE REST THIS DAY IS
CELEBRATE THE FALLEN. SYLVIA
SEGARRA TORRES AND HER HUSBAND
MICHAEL PUT THAT REAL REASON TOP
OF MIND WATCHING THE PARADE PASS
BY.
>> IT’S JUST CELEBRATING THE
PEOPLE THAT SERVED AND, YOU
KNOW, SHOWING A WAY TO
APPRECIATION.
>> YOU KNOW, AND JUST HONORING
THEM IN A WAY.
>> I ENJOYED THE PEOPLE HERE
PAYING RESPECT TO THE FALLEN.
RICHARD GAZZA FROM BROWNSTOWN
TOWNSHIP IS A VETERAN AND HAS
MARCHED IN THIS PARADE BEFORE.
>> HE SAYS HE BALANCES
MEMORIALIZING WITH FUN,
REMEMBERING THE FREEDOMS FOUGHT
AND DIED FOR.
>> JUST REMEMBER THE GOOD THINGS
OF LIFE. AND THAT’S WHAT I TRY
TO DO. ALL THE TIME.
>> AND OF COURSE, WHILE
EVERYBODY HERE HAS THEIR OWN WAY
OF CELEBRATING AND MEMORIALIZING
WHAT MEMORIAL DAY IS FOR, THERE
ARE THOSE WHO ARE HERE THAT ALSO
WANTS TO HONOR THOSE WHO WERE
WILLING TO FIGHT, WILLING TO PUT
THEIR LIFE ON THE LINE. AND THEN
WE’RE ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME.
>> MY FATHER FOUGHT, MY UNCLES
FOUGHT MY NEPHEW FOUGHT. AND IN
AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ AND WAS IN
GREAT DANGER. SO I OFFER THIS
TIME FOR THEM.
>> MEMORIAL DAY IN DEARBORN
MEMORIALIZED UNIQUE WAYS, BUT
DOING IT ALL TOGETHER IN
DEARBORN, NICK MONACELLI Y.
LOCAL 4.
>> OH, THANK YOU, NICK. BY THE
WAY, PRESIDENT BIDEN MARKED
MEMORIAL DAY AT ARLINGTON
NATIONAL CEMETERY TODAY. HE
TALKED ABOUT THE SACRIFICE OF
GENERATIONS OF US TROOPS WHO
DIED FIGHTING FOR THEIR COUNTRY
.
>> AS IT IS FOR SO MANY OF YOU
KNOW, THE PAIN OF LOSS IS WITH
US EVERY DAY. BUT PARTICULARLY
SHARP. ON MEMORIAL DAY,
PRESIDENT ALSO PERFORMED THE
LONG STANDING TRADITION OF
LAYING A WREATH AT THE TOMB OF
