Classes and activities at Harvest Elementary School are canceled Monday as crews work to assess and repair damage caused by a school bus that crashed through the school's wall Sunday afternoon after a bus driver suffered a medical emergency.
Pittsfield police and fire were dispatched to the school at 3 p.m. after a 69-year-old resident of Saline crashed a Saline Area Schools bus through the north wall of the building. The driver was the only person on the bus when he suffered a medical issue. The school was unoccupied at the time of the crash, according to Pittsfield Township police.
The driver was transported to a local hospital by Huron Valley Ambulance. Police said the driver was listed in stable condition after the crash. A school official said the driver was being kept overnight at the hospital for evaluation.
The bus was nearly halfway submerged in the school before it came to a stop.
Pittsfield Police said the bus was being used for a private event at the time of the crash.
Workers from BELFOR Restoration were at Harvest School repairing the school Sunday evening.
At 4:30 p.m., Saline Area Schools Superintendent Steve Laatsch sent an email to the community canceling classes and activities at Harvest Elementary School. Classes and activities continue as scheduled in the rest of the district's schools.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
