A recent construction zone crash in China Township is highlighting a growing safety concern for drivers everywhere. Authorities say a 33-year-old road worker was hit Tuesday on King Road in China Township while on the job. He was taken to McLaren Macomb Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators say drugs and alcohol were not factors. Officials stress that distracted driving remains a major issue in work zones, especially during peak road repair season, and are urging drivers to stay alert and slow down.

Sarnia drivers and residents can expect delays this summer as the city rolls out a record $4.1 million road repair program tied to major sewer and flood control upgrades.

The city is also boosting flood protection at Pumping Station 16 and continuing sewer separation projects.

A former church property in Clyde Township is getting new life as a sports complex. The 6.8-acre site on Imlay City Road sold for $325,000 in a cash deal on May 20 after about three months on the market. A private buyer plans to turn the former Grace Baptist Church into a soccer-focused multi-use facility. The nearly 14,000-square-foot property includes classrooms, a gym, and additional buildings. The sale also boosts a regional faith-based foundation supporting nonprofits across eastern Michigan.
