Steve Utash was driving on Detroit's east side April 2 when he accidentally hit a 10-year-old boy. When he got out of his pickup to render assistance, a mob of black people pounced on him and beat him up savagely. They even stole his wallet. They failed to kill him because one woman in the crowd intervened. He was in a coma for several days, and appears to have suffered brain damage.
DEADLINE DETROIT - April 19th: After getting positive news last week that Steve Utash was out of his coma, a status report Saturday is not as upbeat.
Daughter Mandi Utash sent an update early afternoon saying her father is "still unable to distinguish reality from his delusions." She starts by saying:
Steve Utash |
Everyone has been asking us for an update on our dad's condition. We are very grateful to all who have been sending cards with kind notes and prayers for him and our family. I have been putting off posting an update hoping that after the "next visit" I would have some better news. But days are going by and I don't have better news to share. He is still unable to distinguish reality from his delusions. It is hard to explain in words what he is talking about. And very sad for us to see him this way.
The family has raised more than $180,000 so far to help cover medical costs.

Extended coverage - April 19 - The UK Daily Mail - ‘I think it lasted about one minute and then they let him go,’ a bystander told WXYZ. ‘And then they jumped back on him again and they did it about three times and finally someone was trying to help the guy that got beat up.’ ‘He had the biggest gash on his head I ever seen – he was bleeding from the mouth and he was unconscious when I first got there,’ Debra Hughes told WWJ.
Detroit police deemed the attack NOT a hate crime.
The child who had darted in front of his truck suffered only a broken leg and was soon released from hospital after the accident.
