Authorities say a Sandusky Community Schools bus carrying 28 students tipped onto its side last Friday afternoon in Moore Township, but everyone walked away safely. The Sanilac County Sheriff’s Office says the driver was turning around on Freiberger Road near West Sanilac Road when the bus slid off a soft, snowy shoulder and into a ditch. Deputies, firefighters, and EMS crews responded just after 3:30. All students were checked at the scene, and no one needed to go to the hospital.

The Port Huron Police Major Crimes Unit and Michigan Corrections officers made surprise visits to 25 parolees across St. Clair County last Wednesday. Fifteen followed their release rules, but ten were caught violating parole. Two had warrants in Sanilac County and were arrested. Five had phones seized for suspected sexual material, one had drugs, and another was caught with guns and alcohol. Police say more charges could follow once evidence is reviewed by state investigators.

Crews started rebuilding the Arnold Road bridge over Meldrum Creek in Ira Township on Monday. The $1.05 million project will replace the old bridge with an aluminum culvert and upgrade drainage, guardrails, and pavement. Local traffic and emergency access will stay open, but drivers won’t be able to cross the creek until work wraps up. The St. Clair County Road Commission and other agencies are funding the project, with M.L. Chartier Excavating handling construction. The bridge is expected to reopen by May 19th, weather permitting.
