WARREN, Mich. – A mishap on the streets of Warren sent Mayor Jim Fouts to the hospital.
Fouts shared pictures on social media of the injuries he sustained after hitting an elevated sidewalk.
And he wants them fixed.
“When you’re jogging, you’re running pretty fast and therefore when you hit it, you’ve got some force and you go forward, so my face took the brunt of the fall,” he said.
After going to the hospital, Fouts posted on Facebook he was even “more sensitive to residential complaints” about bad sections of sidewalks, saying “I spoke with the city engineer and Department of Public Works director and asked them to work on these sidewalks ASAP!”
