Sanilac County deputies are investigating a two-vehicle crash that sent one driver to the hospital. It happened Sunday afternoon around 4:15 at the intersection of Ubly and Deckerville Roads in Argyle Township, when a Mustang failed to stop at a stop sign and struck a trailer being hauled by a pickup truck loaded with off-road vehicles. The pickup’s driver and passenger were unhurt, but the Mustang’s driver was treated at the scene by EMS crews before being taken to Marlette Regional Hospital. Alcohol isn’t believed to be a factor.

Attorneys for both defendants charged in a Port Huron murder case are asking a judge to keep key evidence away from jurors. Sayon Florence and Dazman Drake face first-degree murder charges in the shooting death of Vincent Buckles, killed at his home last year. New court filings seek to block evidence including a pearl found on a boot, gun and ballistics testing, gas station video, and jail phone calls, arguing it’s prejudicial or unreliable. A judge hears arguments Aug. 31st, with Florence’s trial set for next month.

St. Clair County commissioners have approved a new deputy medical director role for the Health Department, aiming to expand family planning and clinical services. The 5-1 vote replaces a vacant nurse practitioner position, letting the department offer full Title X services 5 days a week instead of 3. Officials say the move should be revenue neutral, though one commissioner voted no over concerns about federal funding security beyond next year. Nurses at the meeting raised staffing concerns. The county hopes to fill the role by year’s end.
