Sharon Kennedy: Avoiding the roundabout
By Sharon Kennedy
Special to the Tribune
I will drive many extra miles to avoid Sault Ste. Marie’s one and only roundabout. It and I are not on friendly terms. I dislike it as much as it dislikes me. It’s a nuisance, a botheration and a potentially lethal trap for novice motorists. Most drivers approach it cautiously, but there are always smart alecks who know best and barrel through without giving a thought to yielding. That’s why I’ll take a longer route if I need to shop at a store on the Business Spur.
LANSING, Mich. (Legal Newsline) – The owner of a Michigan Buffalo Wild Wings got good news from a state appeals court in a lawsuit blaming it for a fatal car accident caused by a customer in 2015.
On April 22, the Court of Appeals ordered the Chippewa Circuit Court to enter judgment in favor of AMC Sault Ste. Marie in the case brought by the estate of Jared Baragwanath.
Baragwanath was a passenger in a car struck head-on by Stacy Linklater, who crossed the center line of the Mackinac Trail in Sault Ste. Marie after she spent four hours drinking beer at the BWW. Her blood-alcohol level was .18 and she also tested positive for marijuana, leading to a 10-year prison sentence.
