SANDS TOWNSHIP, MI-- A Gwinn woman was taken to the hospital after she was involved in a crash on M-553 Thursday morning.
Marquette County Sheriff’s deputies say the incident happened around 9:10 a.m. just north of County Road 480 in Sands Township. Amanda Buck, 25, of Gwinn was northbound when her pickup started sliding sideways across the southbound lane. The truck’s passenger side was struck by a vehicle driven by Su Hausmann, 68, of Gwinn.
Buck was taken to UPHS Marquette for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Hausmann and her four-year-old grandson sought their own treatment for minor injuries.
Officials say alcohol was not a factor in the crash. Buck was, however, found to be at fault for the accident.
The Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Sands Township Fire Department and EMS and the Michigan State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit.
