A school bus fight may lead to a 16-year-old student being arrested for assault. According to a Winona Police Department spokesperson, on Wednesday afternoon the teenager allegedly "jumped" a 15-year-old boy, punching and attacking him for several minutes. After unsuccessfully trying to verbally break up the fight, the bus driver returned to Winona Senior High School where school staff intervened. By the time police officers arrived the alleged attacker was gone but the victim was still there. The WPD spokesperson said the victim's face was swollen and he may have suffered facial fractures. Officers identified the alleged attacker, and the spokesperson says an arrest and filing of assault charges could be forthcoming.

A portion of West Broadway in Winona will be closing for about seven months. The closure starts April 7 and is part of the West Broadway Reconstruction project. According to the Office of Public Works, West Broadway will be closed to traffic from Hilbert Street to the railroad tracks between Jackson Street and South Baker Street. Vehicles westbound on Broadway are urged to turn off at South Baker to avoid having to turnaround near the tracks. Eastbound vehicles are recommended to turn off Broadway on Lee or Bierce Streets as the Hilbert Street intersection will be closed. A truck detour is planned on 5th Street. The closure is expected to last through October.
