Woman extricated from vehicle following Skandia Township crash

SKANDIA TOWNSHIP, MI--   A Skandia woman was injured in an accident on US-41 Wednesday morning.

The Marquette County Sheriff’s Office says it happened around 5:35 a.m. near East Johnson Road in Skandia Township. Deborah Monty, 58, was northbound in a Jeep Grand Cherokee when she struck a large snowdrift. She lost control of the vehicle, which slid sideways, hit the snowbank and overturned, coming to rest against a tree on the driver’s side.

Monty was extricated from the Jeep and taken to UPHS-Marquette for treatment of 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.
