GLADSTONE, MI-- An Escanaba woman was injured in a 4-wheeler accident in Gladstone over the Memorial Day holiday.
Public Safety officers say the accident happened Monday around 1:45 p.m. in a wooded area near the water tower.
They say Justine Shervin, 45, of Escanaba was a passenger on an ORV driven by Brian Deiter, 45, of Gladstone. As he attempted to maneuver down a hill the 4-wheeler’s tire got stuck in a rut, causing the machine to tip and Shervin to be thrown off. The ORV then rolled onto Deiter.
Shervin was airlifted to UPHS Marquette for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Deiter was not injured.
Both Shervin and Deiter were wearing helmets at the time of the crash.
