NEGAUNEE — The Michigan State Police have released information regarding a fatal traffic accident that occurred on M-28 in Schoolcraft County Sunday afternoon.

Police said that 31-year-old Matthew Morgrette of Colorado was driving his Chevrolet pickup eastbound along M-28 when a Honda passenger car’s roof rack, which was carrying a kayak, became dislodged and struck the vehicle driven by Morgrette.

Police said that the roof rack pierced the windshield of the truck, causing a fatal injury to Morgrette, who was traveling in the pickup with his wife. She was uninjured in the accident.

The Honda car was driven by a 58-year-old Wisconsin man who was not injured in the accident.
