Negaunee crash injures two

NEGAUNEE, MI— Two people were injured in a three-vehicle accident in Negaunee Friday.

City Police say it happened at the intersection of US-41 and Teal Lake Avenue. A Suzuki station wagon driven by a Negaunee woman turned left into oncoming traffic. She was struck by a Chevy sedan driven by a Republic man.

A passenger in the station wagon had to be extricated from the vehicle by Marquette County Emergency Rescue. Both driver and passenger were taken to UPHS-Marquette for treatment. The driver of the Chevy received minor injuries and sought his own treatment at UPHS-Bell.

A third vehicle involved in the crash received only minor damage and was driven from the scene.

The driver of the Suzuki was ticketed for failure to yield.
