SANILAC COUNTY, Mich. (WXYZ) — Icy roads caused a school bus to slide into a ditch in Sanilac County Thursday morning.

Deputies say a bus driver along with 10 children on board were heading "west on Goldman Avenue when the bus began to slide backward down the hill causing the school bus to slide into the ditch."

At the scene, Port Sanilac Fire and Rescue crews found the bus just east of South Lakeshore Road in Sanilac Township. Sanilac EMS arrived shortly after and checked each passenger.

There were no reported injuries or damage to the bus, officials say.
