Early last week in Watertown Township, a crash involving a fuel truck and a passenger SUV caused one driver to be injured. A Sandusky man driving a Buick Enclave failed to stop at a stop sign on French Line Road and hit a northbound fuel truck at South Sandusky Road. The Buick rolled over and landed in a nearby yard. Emergency crews took the injured driver to McLaren Hospital in Port Huron. The truck driver was unharmed and left the scene on his own. The Sanilac County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating.
