Semi hits house in Bark River Township crash

BARK RIVER TOWNSHIP, MI--   A semi driver is hospitalized, following a rollover crash in Delta County. 

State Police from the Gladstone Post say it happened around 8:15 Thursday night on M-69 between 14th Road and US-2 & 41 in Bark River Township. The semi was eastbound on M-69 when it failed to negotiate a turn. The truck left the roadway, struck several trees and a house, rolled over one-and-a-half times, and came to rest on its roof.

The driver was trapped inside and had to be extricated. The Ontario man was airlifted to UPHS Marquette for treatment.

Officers say the house that was hit was unoccupied and received significant structural damage. Power lines were also damaged in the crash.

The truck was carrying a load of potatoes.

Speed is believed to be a significant factor in the accident, which remains under investigation.
