A Monday evening broadside collision in Sanilac County sent a mother and her four-year-old child to the hospital after an out-of-state driver ran a stop sign. Emergency responders rushed to the intersection of Germania and Cass City Roads in Greenleaf Township, where a northbound pickup truck slammed into the passenger side of an eastbound SUV. Thanks to seatbelts and deployed airbags, all occupants survived, though the thirty-five-year-old Cass City woman and her young boy required transport for treatment. Police have ruled out alcohol as a factor as their investigation continues.

McKenzie Health System marked a big step in its new Sandusky hospital project recently, when the last steel beam was signed and set in place at the Chrysalis Project site. Leaders, volunteers, and supporters added their names and messages before the beam went up, turning the moment into a public show of support for the roughly 70,000-square-foot replacement hospital, which will have entrances on M-46 and Gates Road, plus room for future growth. Construction is still on track, with the building expected to be finished next spring, and the move to the new hospital planned for fall of ’27.
