Deckerville Woman Hospitalized

A two-vehicle crash last Wednesday morning in Evergreen Township sent a Deckerville woman to the hospital. Around 7, a GMC Terrain driven by the 76-year-old failed to stop at the intersection of North Van Dyke and Deckerville Road and was struck by a northbound Ford Transit van from Marlette. The collision left the van on its side in a ditch and the SUV on the roadside. Firefighters had to free the woman from her SUV before Sanilac EMS transported her to McLaren Lapeer. The van driver was checked at the scene and released.

Prosecutors Move to Block Unusual Subpoena

The St. Clair County Prosecutor’s Office is pushing back against a rare move by the defense in a local murder case. Lawyers for Maurice Houle — accused of killing his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son in ’18 — tried to subpoena the same prosecutor who is handling the trial. Prosecutors say that is improper and not necessary because detectives and transcripts can speak to the same facts. A judge will decide on Nov. 7th, the same day the court hears arguments over whether Houle’s interrogation statements can be barred from trial. Houle faces life in prison if convicted.
