ISHPEMING — Three people were injured as a result of three-car accident near the intersection of U.S. 41 and Malton Road at the Ishpeming/Negaunee border today.

According to Ishpeming Police Chief Steve Snowaert, two passenger cars and a truck were involved in the crash, which took place at around 12:35 p.m. A fourth vehicle was damaged by debris from the accident.

The occupants of the two smaller vehicles were transported to UPHS-Marquette. Their condition is currently unknown. The occupants of the truck and the fourth vehicle were uninjured, Snowaert said. Traffic was reduced to two lanes until about 3 p.m. as a result of the crash.

The Michigan State Police crash reconstruction unit was on the scene to assist, he said.

Snowaert is asking anyone who may have seen the crash to contact the IPD at 906-486-4416.

“We are still gathering information,” Snowaert said. “So from our standpoint, if anyone witnessed the accident, we would like to hear from them.”

IPD was assisted at the scene by the Marquette County Sheriff’s Office, the Negaunee Police Department, the Negaunee Fire Department, the Ishpeming Fire Department, the Michigan State Police and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
