IRON MOUNTAIN, MI-- The Iron Mountain Police Department is investigating a single-vehicle crash on US-2 near Sixth Street.
Police and firefighters responded to the scene around 12:15 a.m. Thursday. A 68-year-old woman from the Iron Mountain area was southbound on the highway when her vehicle left the west side and struck a guy wire for a power pole. The vehicle spun out of control and crossed to the east side of the highway, left the road and struck a garage.
Officials say lifesaving efforts were begun but were unsuccessful. The woman died a short time later at Dickinson County Health System.
Police believe the accident was caused by a preexisting medical condition, and that the driver’s death was a result of the condition, not the crash. The official cause of death is yet to be determined by the Dickinson County Medical Examiner.
