SOO TOWNSHIP — A young female from Sault Ste. Marie passed away as a result of a fatal traffic crash that occurred early this morning and closed sections of I-75 in Chippewa County.

The accident occurred around 2:20 this morning along I-75 in Soo Township when a vehicle “drove in to the median and rolled over multiple times,” according to the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office.
