Robinson Twp., MI (WGHN) – A Grand Haven Area Public Schools bus carrying two students was briefly stranded Monday afternoon after strong storms knocked down trees and power lines on Johnson Street.
District officials later confirmed the bus safely left the scene once conditions improved.
The bus had been stopped between 108th and 120th avenues, where fallen trees and live power lines blocked the road in both directions. Officials said the students remained safe on board while the driver followed safety protocols and coordinated with emergency crews.
The bus was unable to move until Consumers Energy cleared the downed lines. Fire crews also responded to the scene.
Storms brought wind gusts between 45 and 60 mph to the area, knocking down dozens of trees, particularly east of Grand Haven. As of early evening, nearly 7,000 customers in Ottawa County were without power, according to Consumers Energy.
