ISHPEMING — Three people were hospitalized with minor injuries after a two-vehicle crash Thursday at the intersection of U.S. 41 West and North Lake Drive in Ishpeming Township

The crash occurred around 4:30 p.m., according to a Marquette County Sheriff’s Office press release.

A brown Chevrolet pickup truck driven by a 72-year-old Ishpeming man failed to yield to an eastbound vehicle on U.S. 41. The Chevrolet entered the north side of North Lake Drive and struck a 2012 Ford Sara Lee delivery truck, driven by a 41-year-old Negaunee man. When the Chevrolet struck the delivery truck, it resulted in “heavy and disabling damage to both vehicles,” according to police.

All three occupants inside of the Chevrolet were trapped inside the vehicle. The jaws of life were used to rescue the occupants, who were then transported to UP Health System-Marquette for minor injuries. They are in stable condition, police said.

Eastbound traffic on the highway near North Lake Drive was partially blocked for about one hour while the scene was investigated and crews cleaned up the area.
