Semi tractor-trailer loses logs, damages phone line

MARQUETTE COUNTY, MI— A logging truck lost its load on County Road 550 Wednesday.

The Marquette County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched around 1:10 p.m. to 550 between Harlow Lake Road and Beagle Club Road.

Deputies say a semi tractor-trailer was southbound and turning right when it lost the back half of the trailer and its logs. The logs slid off the east side of the road, then hit and damaged a telephone line. The back half of the trailer ended up on its side.

One lane of 550 was closed for about two hours while crews righted the trailer and removed the logs.

No injuries were reported.
