ELY TOWNSHIP, MI-- Snow caused a Marquette County Road Commission plow to roll over in Ely Township Thursday.
The Marquette County Sheriff’s Office and Michigan State Police were dispatched to US-41 near County Road CN just after 3 p.m. They say a plow driven by a 53-year-old Ishpeming man was clearing snow near a guardrail. The snow pulled the truck, with the wing plow engaged, off the side of the road. The truck spun around and ended up on its side down an embankment.
The driver was not injured.
US-41 was closed down in both directions for about an hour while the plow was pulled out of the ditch.
The Sheriff’s Office is reminding drivers to slow down for emergency vehicles and move over when possible.
