COLFAX TOWNSHIP — A man has been arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-
run crash on M-53 near Thomas Road early Friday morning.  38-year-old Sheila D. 
Peruski of Bad Axe was killed and another woman was injured, stated Huron 
County Sheriff Kelly J. Hanson in a press release.  Peruski was walking along 
M-53 at 2:30 a.m. with Cassandra R. Herron, 21, of Harbor Beach, who was 
seriously injured.  A third pedestrian, 41-year-old Christopher M. Harder was 
uninjured.  The three were walking on M-53 toward Thompson Road when the two 
women were struck about 600 feet west of the intersection, Hanson added.  

"From statements Mr. Harder made, it's believed the trio had set out to 
stargaze from a nearby residence where Ms. Peruski was residing. It's also 
appearing alcohol played a role with the three," Hanson reported.  The vehicle 
suspected to have struck the women was reported to Huron Central Dispatch at 
6:40 a.m. Friday.  The Mercury Mountaineer was parked on Munford Road, near 
M-19, in Bingham Township when the call came. The suspect, a 21-year-old Bad 
Axe man, was the sole occupant, and was sitting in the back seat.
"The Mercury Mountaineer SUV was then impounded and the driver was taken to the 
Huron Medical Center for a requested blood test," Hanson stated. "He eventually 
was arrested and lodged in our jail on felony-related charges for leaving that 
accident scene which caused death. There is no bond at this time."  He is 
expected to be arraigned Friday and there is currently no bond.  Harder, who 
was walking some distance behind Peruski and Herron, reported that a light-
colored SUV eastbound camp up from behind and impacted with the women.  Peruski 
was pronounced dead at the scene. Herron was taken to Huron Medical Center and 
later flown to an out-of-county hospital, Hanson said.  Harder was arrested at 
the scene on an outstanding warrant and lodged in the Huron County jail.  The 
Huron County Medical Examiners Office, the Bad Axe Police Department, Bad Axe 
Fire Department and Central Huron Ambulance assisted Huron County Sheriff's 
deputies at the scene.
An autopsy is being scheduled.  HURON DAILY TRIBINE April 28, 2017
