Deer causes motorcycle crash on M-35

RICHMOND TOWNSHIP, MI--   An Ishpeming man was injured in a motorcycle crash in Richmond Township Monday.

The Marquette County Sheriff’s Office says it happened around 7 a.m. on M-35 about a mile north of County Road MB. Corey Koski, 48, was riding his Harley Davidson northbound when a deer ran into his lane. Koski hit the deer and was ejected from the motorcycle. The bike continued down M-35, hitting guardrails on both sides of the roadway before it came to rest in the ditch.

Koski was taken to UPHS-Marquette with non-life-threatening injuries. Officials say he was wearing a helmet, which prevented more serious injuries.

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.
