Injuries reported in 550 crash

MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, MI--   Three people were injured in a crash on County Road 550 in Marquette Township Monday.

Sheriff’s deputies say it happened around 1:20 p.m. about a mile south of Middle Island Point Road.

They say a Ford Escape driven by 77-year-old Janice McLean of Marquette was southbound when it crossed the centerline and hit a Chevy Impala driven by 49-year-old Richard Lapine of Marquette.  Grant Newby, 54, of Marquette was a passenger in the vehicle.   

Lapine had to be extricated from the car with the Jaws of Life. 

All were taken to UPHS Marquette with non-life-threatening injuries.

McLean was found to be at fault in the accident and was cited for careless driving.

The accident remains under investigation.
