MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, MI-- Officials are blaming substance abuse for a single-vehicle accident in Marquette Township that damaged a building.
Sheriff’s deputies say the crash happened Friday around 6:45 p.m. on Wright Street just north of Commerce Drive. They say a 29-year-old Marquette woman was northbound when the vehicle swerved off the right side of the road, traveled across a sandy area and struck a building housing Taylor Made Furniture.
The driver was taken to Marquette General Hospital for treatment of her injuries. The business sustained a large hole in a wall.
Witnesses say the vehicle was weaving and crossing the centerline prior to the crash. Deputies suspect the driver was using inhalants before the accident occurred.
The crash remains under investigation.
