If you’re not already familiar with the story of the Cadillac Converj, take this quick primer: the Converj is the Chevy Volt’s luxurious, canceled cousin. The up-and-coming concept suffered an early death shortly after its debut at the 2009 Detroit auto show. Now it’s back, returning to development under the name Cadillac ELR. The new electric caddy is said to feature an updated version of the Voltec powertrain, complete with a Chevy Volt-like range-extending generator. Detroit promises that pricing and availability will be released “later,” but you can cruise past the break right now for some extra classy PR.

Simon Richardson, who won three medals in Beijing, is in a critical condition after a van apparently hit him in Bridgend A gold-medal-winning Paralympic cyclist is in a critical condition after a hit-and-run incident with a van. Simon Richardson, who won two gold medals and a silver at the 2008 Beijing games, was cycling near Bridgend on Wednesday morning when he was apparently struck by a white van and thrown to the side of the road. The 44-year-old was taken by air ambulance to the University of Wales hospital in Cardiff, where he is undergoing treatment for multiple injuries. His wife said he was in a “critical but stable condition”. A 59-year-old man from the Cowbridge area has been arrested. Inspector Tony McAlinden said: “South Wales police are appealing for witnesses following a road traffic collision that occurred at approximately 9.40am on Wednesday 17 August at the A48 Crack Hill, outside Crack Hill House, Bridgend. “The Welsh Paralympic cyclist Simon Richardson MBE was involved in the road traffic accident. He was apparently struck by a small white van travelling in the same direction. “The van did not stop and continued east along the A48 in the general direction of Cowbridge.” Two cars were later involved in a crash at the same scene – a black Toyota Avensis, driven by a 43-year-old man, and a gold Rover 25, driven by a 74-year-old woman. McAlinden added: “The ambulance service attended the scene and provided assistance and treatment to both Mr Richardson and the female driver.” Police appealed for anyone who saw the collision or provided assistance, or who saw a white van leaving the area, to contact them. In 2001, Richardson, of Porthcawl, was seriously injured in a cycling incident with a car while out with friends from a cycling club. It left him with serious leg and back injuries and no feeling down his left side. He continued to cycle with an adapted bike powered by his right leg after doctors said it would help his rehabilitation. He won Britain’s first gold at Beijing after setting a world record at the LC3/4 1km time trial and received the MBE in 2009. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact South Wales police in Gwaelod y Garth, Cardiff, on 02920 633438 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Police, firefighters and coastguard battle to recover bodies at the foot of island’s Culver Down Police are investigating the deaths of a man and woman who were killed when their car went over a 100-metre (328ft) cliff on the Isle of Wight. Hampshire police said the pair’s bodies were recovered from an upturned blue car at the bottom of Culver Down cliffs. Emergency services were called at around 8pm on Wednesday and battled against the incoming tide to try to recover the pair from the “very crushed” car, Solent coastguard said. A coastguard spokeswoman said three teams from Bembridge, Ryde and Ventnor were called to the scene, along with the coastguard helicopter from Solent. Two lifeboats from Bembridge also joined the search with fire and rescue, ambulance and police teams. Anne Ricketts, 47, from nearby Sandown, was walking her dog along the beach around the time of the accident. The social worker said she saw a tractor dragging a trailer containing four firefighters towards the beach at the time. Just after 8pm she said she saw a coastguard helicopter drop someone into the water before leaving, while “truckloads” of rescuers from the coastguard were being dropped off nearby. Police are appealing for witnesses to call Newport CID on 101. guardian.co.uk

Death is 10th fatal stabbing of a teenager in London so far this year and comes after 17-year-old was stabbed to death in Ilford A 14-year-old boy has been found stabbed to death at a park in Enfield, north London, police said. The boy, who has not been named, was already dead when police were called at about 5.30pm on Wednesday to Ponders End Recreation Ground, on the northern edge of London, Scotland Yard said. Officers were called by ambulance crews, who found the boy, suffering a stab wound, alongside a concrete wall in the middle of the park. The victim has not been named, although police know his identity and have told next of kin. Officers have launched a murder inquiry and are awaiting a postmortem investigation. No arrests have been made. It is the 10th fatal stabbing of a teenager in London so far this year, coming less than a week after a 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Ilford, east London , following what was believed to be a fight at the end of a party. According to Scotland Yard figures, knife crime involving young people in London has risen almost 10% over the past year , with an even bigger increase in the number of youths injured in knife attacks in the past few years. Enfield, which has significant areas of deprivation alongside streets of comfortable suburban homes, experienced a night of significant riots and looting earlier this month , which spread from the town centre towards Ponders End to the east.
