RICHMOND TOWNSHIP, MI-- The Marquette County Sheriff’s Office says four vehicles were involved in a crash on M-35 in Richmond Township Thursday.
It happened around 7 a.m. just south of County Road MA near Goose Lake. A van driven by William Belmore, 53, of Marquette was southbound when he started to pass a semi on an uphill curve. He nearly struck a northbound vehicle driven by James Klumb, 54, of Marquette head-on, but Klumb swerved and the two vehicles side-swiped each other. Belmore continued south and hit a northbound pickup driven by Lance Yunk, 45, of Palmer head-on.
Belmore was taken to UP Health System Marquette for treatment. Yunk sought his own treatment, and neither Klumb nor the semi driver was injured.
Belmore was cited for reckless driving.
