Police release name of man killed in side-by-side crash

SANDS TOWNSHIP, MI— The Marquette County Sheriff’s Office has released the name of a man killed in a Sands Township side-by-side crash.

It happened Wednesday around 6:10 p.m. on a trail off of Youngs Road.

Paul Bagby, 57, was the only occupant of the ORV, which struck a tree. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Deputies say alcohol, speed, and failure to wear a seat belt are factors in the crash, which remains under investigation.

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.
