White Man Pummeled to Near Death by Angry Blacks in Detroit

An unfortunate accident involving a white driver from a suburb of Detroit and a black youngster, who had blindly stepped into oncoming traffic, turned vicious.  A group of black people formed quickly and attacked the white driver coming to the aid of the youngster.  Not only did the driver do the right thing by obeying the law and stopping, he got rewarded with a beating and robbery of his wallet, cash, and credit cards.  The driver, Steve Utash, clings to life.  Recovering is the injured 10-year-old David Harris.
