PORTAGE TOWNSHIP, MI-- One person was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Portage Township on Friday.
The Houghton County Sheriff’s Office says it happened around 2:30 p.m. on Superior Road near Boundary Road.
Steven Long, 59, of Portage Township apparently overcorrected his vehicle. It crossed the roadway, entered a ditch and struck a culvert. The vehicle then bounced over a driveway and into a yard about 75 feet before it hit a tree.
Long was pronounced dead at the scene. Alcohol is believed to be a factor in the accident.
The crash remains under investigation.
