A Brockton cyclist was hospitalized for weeks after a hit-and-run crash left him seriously injured. Now, he and the police are turning to the public for help identifying a man believed to be behind the wheel that night.

Shawn Colier, 43, was peddling home from his dishwashing job at Doyle’s Restaurant on Oak Street in Brockton around 10:40 p.m. when he was hit from behind by a dark-colored minivan that was driving without its headlights on, according to the Brockton Police Department.

Police say the driver fled east on Oak Street following the crash.

Hours later, Colier regained consciousness at Good Samaritan Hospital. He had suffered broken ribs and countless scrapes and bruises.

“Knocked out completely. I don’t even know who took me to the hospital,” he told 7NEWS.

Colier spent two weeks in the hospital and is still undergoing some rehabilitation.

He said he wants an apology for what happened to him.

“I would like him to pay the price,” Colier said. “I want nothing bad on him though. I don’t want to wish nothing bad on someone.”

A surveillance image from a nearby 7/11 showed the person of interest enter wearing what appears to be a blue Pepsi shirt and purchasing a case of beer before entering a dark-colored minivan.

Anyone who recognizes the individual is asked to contact Brockton police detective James Cronshaw at 508- 941-0234.

“We want to know if people can identify this person,” Darren Duarte of the Brockton police said. “We want to ask him a lot of questions. Detectives want to ask a lot of questions.”

An investigation remains ongoing.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

By
WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
