Crash ties up traffic on US-41

MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, MI--   Traffic on US-41 in Marquette Township had to be rerouted Friday morning following a two-vehicle accident.  

Sheriff’s deputies say the crash happened in front of Lowe’s around 7:45 a-m.  A Ford pickup driven by Clifford Dice, 51, of Bay City pulled out onto the highway from the Lowe’s driveway and into the path of a westbound Chevy driven by Neil Bonetti, 33, of Marquette. 

Bonetti was taken to Marquette General Hospital for evaluation of minor injuries. 

Dice was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way.

Both vehicles were heavily damaged in the crash.  Both eastbound lanes of traffic on US-41 were diverted for about 45 minutes. 

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.
