M-89

A 35-year-old man who had stopped to help a relative with a disabled vehicle on M-89 in Trowbridge Township has been hit and killed by another vehicle. Rickie Sheldon Jr. died Saturday after he had stopped to pick up the relative whose pickup truck was on the road's shoulder. 

Hitchcock was driving a dump truck on M-89 when something, possibly a tire suddenly blowing out, caused the him to lose control and depart the roadway, where the truck hit multiple trees. The collision left Hitchcock severely injured, and he remains in critical condition in the hospital.
