MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, MI-- Three people were injured in a multiple-vehicle crash in Marquette Township Wednesday.
Marquette County Sheriff’s deputies responded around 4:30 p.m. to US-41 West near Wright Street. They say Ashley McIntire, 18, of Marquette was westbound in a pickup truck when she merged into the left lane. That forced a vehicle driven by William O’Connor, 65, of Ishpeming to take evasive action and hit a station wagon driven by Christina Knepp, 24, of Sault Ste. Marie that was stopped in a median crossing.
Knepp, her passenger, and a passenger in the O’Connor vehicle were taken to UPHS Marquette for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
McIntire was ticketed for improper lane use.
