Man killed in Munising Township go-cart accident

MUNISING TOWNSHIP, MI--   A Wetmore man has died of injuries sustained in a Munising Township go-cart crash.

Sunday around 9:45 p.m. State Police from the Negaunee Post were called to Powell Lake Road near Lost Lake Road. Investigation indicates the go-cart was northbound on Powell Lake Road when it collided with an unoccupied vehicle parked in a private drive.

The passenger in the go-cart—Troy White, 31, of Wetmore—died at the scene. The driver—a 15-year-old male from Munising, was taken to UPHS Marquette for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. 

Troopers say speed is believed to be a factor in the crash.  

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.
