Motorcycle Rider Seriously Injured

Early Sunday morning in Marlette Township, a Prescott man suffered serious injuries after his motorcycle hit a deer on Decker Road near Miller Road. The 46-year-old rider lost control when the animal suddenly crossed his path, causing him to be thrown into a roadside ditch. Emergency crews quickly responded, transporting him first to Marlette Regional Hospital, then by air to Hurley Medical Center in Flint. Authorities say neither speed nor alcohol played a role, and the rider was wearing a helmet at the time. Local towing helped clear the scene.

New Waterfront Housing

The old Central Fire Station in Port Huron is being cleared to make way for new housing, likely condominiums, after demolition finishes next week. City Manager James Freed says a land use study will wrap up by summer’s end to guide the project. The fire station, built 65 years ago and closed last August, was demolished due to outdated facilities. While the site is prepared for development, any sale or lease of the waterfront property will need a public vote, keeping community access intact.
