MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, MI-- A Marquette man is okay, after he was hit by a car near Wal-Mart in Marquette Township Tuesday.
The Marquette County Sheriff’s Office says the accident happened around noon at the intersection of US-41 and County Road 492.
Deputies say the traffic light had just turned green when Carl Ritari, 71, tried to cross the highway and was struck by a westbound vehicle driven by Richard Rolain, 76, of Ishpeming. Rolain’s vehicle was going relatively slowly and Ritari sustained only minor injuries.
The westbound lanes of US-41 were narrowed to one lane for about 20 minutes.
