Charges pending in Richmond Township crash

RICHMOND TOWNSHIP, MI--   A Palmer man faces possible charges, following a single-vehicle accident in Richmond Township. 

The 27-year-old was southbound on M-35 Wednesday around 9:40 a.m. when his vehicle crossed the centerline on a curve, left the road, and struck several trees. 

Marquette County Sheriff’s deputies believe the driver wasn’t wearing a seat belt, as his head hit the windshield.  He sustained several non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to UPHS Marquette.

Alcohol is suspected to be a factor in the crash. Charges of operating while intoxicated and driving while license suspended are anticipated, pending blood test results.  

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.
