Jaws of Life used to extricate victim in Chocolay crash

CHOCOLAY TOWNSHIP, MI--   One person was taken to the hospital following a crash in Chocolay Township Monday morning.

Township Police say it happened at 10:45 a.m. at the intersection of US-41 and Silver Creek Road. Investigation indicates a Ford panel van driven by a L’Anse man was southbound on the highway when he ran a red light. His vehicle struck a Ford passenger car driven by a Lansing woman that was entering the highway from Silver Creek Road.

The L’Anse man was not injured. He was ticketed for failing to stop at a red light.

The woman—an employee with the State of Michigan—had to be extricated from her vehicle with the Jaws of Life. She was taken to UPHS-Marquette and treated for what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.

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.
