Earlier this month, a 12-year-old boy from Dearborn Heights was struck and killed by a vehicle while riding his bike home from a football game. Joey Smith was hit on the corner of Pardee Avenue and Annapolis Street on Oct. 15. His grandfather Phillip Smith recalls talking to him. "That was the last time I saw him other than him lying on the street," he said. His family and neighbors who live near the crash site say the area is dangerous because it's too dark and there are no speed bumps. It's directly across from Pardee Elementary School, where kids frequently play and ride their bikes.
