Dustin Neil Gilbert, 24, was southbound on Eighth Avenue at about 1:20 a.m., when he said he took his eyes off the road for a minute, said Sgt. Matt Wildfong of the Ottawa County Sheriffs Department.

He claimed he didnt have enough time to avoid a collision when he looked back.

Gilberts car struck a paving machine that was being loaded onto a trailer at the side of the road. The impact caused a Bobcat on the trailer to fall off and land on its back in the middle of the road. The driver of the paving machine was not injured.

An ambulance transported Gilbert to Spectrum Hospital in Grand Rapids.

Wildfong said the asphalt company had just completed working on a driveway and the crew was loading up their equipment.

The crash is still under investigation.

GATE CITY A Tennessee man accused of carrying out multiple paving scams in Southwest Virginia pleaded guilty in Scott County court last week to a second felony charge of operating without a contractor's license.

Frank Edward Small, 52, of Johnson City, was indicted by a Scott County grand jury June 23 on a single count of violating Virginia business regulations for the third time in 36 months.

It was the second time since May Small had been indicted on the same charge by a Scott County grand jury.

Small was arraigned in Scott County Circuit Court on July 9 and, in a rare move, pleaded guilty to the felony charge against him during the appearance.

Scott County authorities issued a capias warrant June 11 for Small's arrest stemming from his May indictment for a separate case of operating without a contractor's license. He pleaded guilty to that charge during a June 23 hearing in Scott County.

Small will be sentenced by 30th Circuit Court Judge John Kilgore on both counts on Sept. 4.

The most recent charge against Small stemmed from an incident that reportedly occurred in December 2013.

Scott County authorities said the incident matched other complaints involving Small. Law enforcement said the victim was elderly and never given an exact estimate for the work Small was performing. Once the work was completed, authorities said Small asked for an unreasonable amount of money as compensation for work that was poorly done.

GULFPORT, MS (WLOX) -

It's been months since repair work began on O'Neal Road, and according to residents, not much has improved.

Work began in the spring as part of a contract that called for repairs on multiple streets in the area. Density testing began Friday in hopes to get repairs rolling. But, residents are saying it's past time for the city of Gulfport to do something about the paving issue.

"The city could have taken care of this really quick if they wanted to," said Khari Enkosi, who lives in the Tracewood subdivision, just off O'Neal Road.

He and several of his neighbors have been in constant contact with the city. They're tired of the dirt and grime that has now become a norm for the neighborhood.

"I haven't washed my car since they started because when you come down this road, it's a dust cloud," said Enkosi.

The city did come out and patch some of the holes a couple of weeks ago, but, according to Enkosi, it didn't help much.

Kevin Flowers has lived in the area for 50 years.

"I moved out here when it was first dirt, and it was in better shape than what it is now," said Flowers.

Even though the road is no longer closed to traffic, he is having to turn around to avoid suspension damage on his truck and boat trailer.

The rest is here:

BUFFALO The Better Business Bureau serving Upstate New York is warning homeowners to use caution when hiring a paving contractor.

BBB has heard from consumers in the Albany and Syracuse areas who gave money upfront to a man going door to door offering to pave their driveways.

The driveway paving scam is not new, but each year consumers are swindled out of unreasonable amounts of money," said Warren Clark, Upstate New York president for the group, in a press release.

"And, oftentimes, the paving projects are unnecessary.

Check out paving companies at bbb.org to make an informed decision, the release advised.

That small effort could pay off big, it said.

In many cases, the (scam) paving company disappears, and the consumer is not able to contact them to complain about the work."

Beware of paving company representatives who knock on your door, saying they have leftover materials from another job and claim to offer bargain prices, the group said.

"Complaints about these companies primarily focus on shoddy quality of work."

Another issue that arises, the release said, is when pavers run out of materials, say they will be back the next day, then disappear.

TOPEKA, Kan. A door-to-door paving company has been banned from doing business in Kansas and ordered to refund three customers.

The business operated under a variety of names including All Star Asphalt, All Star Paving, Asphalt Solutions and All Star Asphalt Paving. According to the Kansas Attorney General's Office, the business violated the state's Consumer Protection Act by failing to provide customers with a completed receipt, failing to advise of their three day right to cancel and cashing checks in less than five business days.

George and James Swartz were ordered to repay $8,500 to a Lawrence resident and two Topeka residents for the violations, and banned from doing business in the state.

With the summer construction season in full swing, consumers should be on the lookout for these fly-by-night operations looking to make a quick buck, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said. Consumers who are in need of driveway repairs should seek out local, reputable contractors and get multiple written estimates before having any work done.
