AMBER TOWNSHIP — Two men, described as illegal aliens, fled the scene of a rollover crash on U.S. 31 Tuesday night, resulting in their arrests following a search by law enforcement. The crash took place on the northbound U.S. 31 off-ramp for westbound U.S. 10 (the loop). Mason County Sheriff’s Office personnel along with Pere Marquette Township Fire Department were dispatched at 8:12 p.m. for a report of a minivan that had rolled over and landed on its top.
