MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, MI-- A car crash cut power to residents in an area of Marquette Township over the weekend.
Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched Saturday around 2:20 p.m. to County Road 492 west of Lake Enchantment Road. They say a Chevy Silverado had been eastbound on 492 when it left the roadway and hit a power pole, splitting it in half. Power lines draped across the roadway, causing traffic to back up.
The driver—a 28-year-old Negaunee Township man—wasn’t injured in the accident, which remains under investigation.
He was cited for careless driving.
The Marquette Board of Light and Power responded to the scene to remove power lines and restore electricity.
