Four-vehicle accident closes M-95

SAGOLA TOWNSHIP, MI--   M-95 in Sagola Township was closed for several hours Thursday, after logs fell onto the roadway during a four-vehicle accident. 

State Police from the Iron Mountain Post say it happened just after 9 a.m. near Sunset Lane.  A southbound semi hauling logs hit a patch of black ice and started sliding, which caused the load to fall from the truck.  A second semi tractor-trailer also started sliding when it tried to avoid the logs, but its load shifted and it overturned.  A third semi attempted to avoid logs on the road but lost some of its own load before it stopped.  A passenger car then slid into the logs on the roadway.

No injuries were reported. 

Troopers say alcohol use is not suspected.
