HOUGHTON COUNTY, MI-- Two teens were injured in a single-vehicle crash in Houghton County over the weekend.
Sheriff’s deputies responded Saturday around 3 p.m. to Tapiola Road. They say a vehicle driven by a 17-year-old girl from Pelkie passed another vehicle, then lost control on slushy roads as she re-entered her lane of travel. The vehicle spun around several times, went into the ditch and traveled about 100 feet before it struck a culvert on a driveway. The vehicle then traveled another 100 feet before coming to rest on its wheels in the ditch.
The driver and a 16-year-old boy from Calumet were injured. They were treated at the scene by Otter Lake First Responders, then taken to UPHS-Portage for further treatment.
The vehicle sustained major damage.
