Heavy Rain Triggers Rollover Crash

A heavy rainstorm in Sanilac County led to a rollover crash last Tuesday evening, leaving a 62-year-old Snover man with minor injuries. Deputies say it happened just before 6:30 on Argyle Road near Germania in Evergreen Township. The man was driving a Chevy Equinox when standing water in a low spot caused the SUV to hydroplane. The vehicle slid off the road and flipped into a ditch, landing on its side. He was treated at the scene and released.

Economic Leader Dan Casey To Retire

Dan Casey is stepping down after 15 years leading economic growth efforts in St. Clair County, with his retirement set for September first. The Economic Development Alliance board accepted his resignation this week. Casey took over in 2011, when the area was still recovering from the recession, and helped guide businesses through both that downturn and the COVID-19 pandemic. Leaders credit him with bringing a major electric vehicle project to a long-empty industrial site and supporting small businesses. He plans to stay involved in community boards and spend more time writing.
