LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW FATHER OF FOUR KILLED IN A HIT AND RUN MY MESSAGE TO ANYBODY
THAT MAKES A MISTAKE AND HIT.
SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. YOU DON’T
JUST KEEP GOING, YOU STOP AND
MAKE SURE THAT IT’S NOT A HUMAN
BEINGS TONIGHT, HIS FAMILY
CALLING FOR CHARGES AFTER THE
SUSPECT IN THE CASE TURNS
HERSELF IN. A TRAIN WAS BEARING
DOWN ON AN UNSUSPECTING DRIVER
STUCK ON THE TRACKS. BUT A GOOD
SAMARITAN SPRANG INTO ACTION. I
STARTED SCREAMING AT HER THAT
THERE WAS A TRAIN COMING. SHE
HAD NO IDEA. PATTI JAMES WANTED
TO DO LAST NIGHT WAS TAKE HER
DAUGHTER’S CARD AT THE GAS
STATION TO FILL IT UP FOR HER AS
SHE WAS DRIVING ALONG. GRISWOLD
NEAR RANGE. SHE CROSSED THE
TRAIN TRACKS AND HAPPENED TO SEE
A CAR ON THE TRACKS. THAT’S
WHERE MARA MACDONALD IS TONIGHT.
IMPORT HURON. DE’VEON KIMBERLY,
SO EVERYBODY HAS A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE
CIRCUMSTANCES ARE OUT HERE.
ERIC, WHY DON’T WE KILL THE
LIGHT AND SHOW EVERYBODY DO YOU
SEE HOW DARK IT IS OUT HERE?
ABSOLUTELY PLAYED A PART IN WHAT
HAPPENED AT THIS TIME LAST NIGHT
, AND I’VE SEEN A CAR DOWN THE
TRACKS AND I SAID, WAS THAT A
CAR, SHE SAID. I DON’T KNOW.
MAYBE THERE’S A ROAD OR
SOMETHING. OR MAYBE THEY THOUGHT
IT WAS A ROAD. SO I TURNED
AROUND. AS SOON AS I TURNED
AROUND, I SEEN THE TRAIN LIGHT
AND WE JUST ALL STARTED
SCREAMING. THERE’S A TRAIN.
THERE SURE WAS. PATTY HAD TO
KNOW WHETHER THERE WAS ANYBODY
IN THAT CAR. SO SHE STOPPED AND
RAN THROUGH THE GRAVEL UP THE
EMBANKMENT AND OPENED THE DOOR
INSIDE A WOMAN WHO THOUGHT SHE
WAS STUCK IN A DITCH. NOT ON THE
TRACKS. I STARTED SCREAMING AT
HER THAT THERE WAS A TRAIN
COMING AND SHE HAD NO IDEA. SHE
GOT OUT OF THE CURRENT. SHE
SAID. WHAT DO I DO? AND I SAID,
COME ON, LET’S GO. SECONDS
LATER. THIS IS WHAT WAS LEFT OF
THAT WOMAN’S CHEVY CRUZE. SHE
WAS THAT CLOSE TO BEING CRUSHED
TWICE. YOU CALLED ME TODAY SHE
WAS CRYING, SHE SAID. I
LITERALLY DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE
TRAIN COMING. SHE WAS LOOKING AT
HER PHONE AND HE DIDN’T SEE HER
CAR BECAUSE HER LIGHTS WERE OFF.
SO WHEN HE DID SEE IT, IT WAS
RIGHT THERE AND HE WAS HAULING.
BACK HERE LIVE. I HAD A CHANCE
TO TALK TO THE WOMAN THAT PATTY
SAVED TODAY. WE HAD A NICE TALK,
AND SHE EXPLAINED TO ME WHAT
HAPPENED, SO SHE’S BEEN HAVING
PROBLEMS WITH HER ACCELERATOR.
IT’S STUCK. SHE LOST CONTROL OF
THE CAR, YOU KNOW, SPUN OUT
ESSENTIALLY ONTO THESE TRACKS.
SHE SHE DIDN’T KNOW WHERE SHE
WAS, AND IT IS DARK OUT THERE
AND YOU CAN’T REALLY SEE SHE
THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST SORT OF YOU
KNOW, LOPSIDED ON A DITCH UNTIL
PATTY CAME, YOU KNOW, RUNNING UP
TO THE CAR AND TRIED TO JERK
OPENED THE DOOR SHE CALLS PATTY
HER ANGEL. KIMBERLY DEVIN.

METRO AIRPORT. IF YOU’VE BEEN
OUTSIDE, YOU SAY, GEE, IT
DOESN’T IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE
IT’S 40. WELL THAT’S BECAUSE
WE’VE HAD WIND GUSTS AS HIGH AS

THE END OF THIS TUNNEL, AND IT’S
A NICE ONE FOR THE WEEKEND.
WE’LL TALK ABOUT IT IN A FEW
MINUTES. THE FAMILY OF A FATHER
OF FOUR SPEAKING OUT TONIGHT,
JUST DAYS AFTER HE WAS HIT AND
KILLED ON 12 MILE IN FARMINGTON
HILLS, TIMOTHY EVANS DIED FRIDAY
NIGHT WITH THE SUSPECTED DRIVER
LATER TURNING HERSELF IN THE
FOLLOWING DAY. PAMELA OSBORNE
TALKED WITH HIS FAMILY AND HAS
THEIR PLEA FOR JUSTICE. TIMOTHY

HIS FAMILY MUSIC WAS HIS
GREATEST PASSION. TAKE A LOOK.
THIS IS A SONG THAT HE MADE WITH
HIS GROUP. THE HEARTBREAK KIDS,
HIS FAMILY NOW HEARTBROKEN
KNOWING THAT SOMEONE HIT HIM AND
LEFT HIM TO DIE. THIS YOUNG MAN,
MY BROTHER. IT WAS A GREAT GREAT
PERSON AND YOU KNOW I LOVE THEM,
AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR MY
WISH I COULD BRING HIM BACK.
WHAT WE CAN. TIMOTHY EVANS JR
WAS JUDY’S BABY, THE YOUNGEST OF
FOUR, HER ONLY SON, PRIDE AND
JOY. HE WAS EVERYTHING HE WAS
THE BEST BROTHER SISTER COULD
HAVE. THE 33 YEAR OLD FATHER OF
FOUR WAS OUT WITH FRIENDS FRIDAY
NIGHT INFORMING IN HILLS HIS
GIRLFRIEND, STEPHANIE BICKNELL,
SINCE SOMETHING WAS WRONG THAT
NIGHT, AND THEN WHEN I WOKE UP
IN THE MORNING, AND HE STILL
WASN’T THERE, I DEFINITELY KNEW
SOMETHING WAS WRONG. WHAT THEY
DIDN’T KNOW AT THE TIME WAS THAT
TIMOTHY WAS ALREADY GONE. A
DRIVER CALLED 911 SATURDAY
MORNING AFTER NOTICING A PERSON
LYING IN THE GRASS OF 12 MILE
ROAD NEAR BALMORAL WAY. WHAT
THEY LEARNED. NEXT IS WHAT HURTS
THE MOST HAD JUST STOPPED. WOULD
HE STILL BE ALIVE TODAY? THE
DRIVER WHO POLICE SAY LEFT THE
ROAD AND HIT TIMOTHY IN THE
SHOULDER, NEVER EVEN STOPPED AND
A TON OF PLANS FOR OUR FUTURE
AND THIS WASN’T ONE OF THEM,
SAYS TIMOTHY WAS THE BEST DAD
NOT JUST TO THEIR ONE AND THREE
YEAR OLDS, BUT TO OUR OLDER
CHILDREN AS WELL. SHE’S STILL
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW SHE’S
GOING TO CARRY ON WITHOUT HIM
THE FIRST STEP IN THAT PROCESS,
LAYING HIM TO REST, WHICH THEY
CAN’T DO ON THEIR OWN PRIDE
TELLS ME THAT I SHOULDN’T OPEN
UP MY HOME AND TELL EVERYBODY
THAT I’M UNABLE TO JUST JUST
HANDLE HIS FUNERAL EXPENSES AND
BURIAL IN THOSE THINGS. BUT LOVE
