MARQUETTE TOWSHIP, MI--   The Marquette County Sheriff’s Office says a motorcyclist was killed in a single-vehicle crash Thursday.

Just after 2 p.m. deputies were called to County Road 550 just south of Little Presque Isle. It appears the driver was southbound when he lost control of the motorcycle and hit some trees.

Officials say the crash likely happened earlier in the day.

The name of the victim has not been released, pending notification of next of kin.  

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
