Nov. 13, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. – I am extremely saddened by the accident that occurred at my office’s sewer rehabilitation project in Orion Township on Wednesday morning. Our deepest sympathies go to the individual, family and community members who are affected by this tragic accident. There is an investigation ongoing by the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office related to the construction site and equipment at the accident location. The project is complete, and the equipment is expected to be fully removed from the site tomorrow.
