MARQUETTE — A driver was left trapped in her vehicle following a two-car crash Monday morning.

At approximately 8 a.m., troopers from the Michigan State Police Calumet Post responded to a two-car crash at the four-lane intersection of U.S. 41 and Highway Road.

An investigation determined that 77-year-old Lisa Hobmeier was in the left northbound lane of U.S. 41 turning left onto Highway Road and 32-year-old Rebekka Mikkola was traveling in the left southbound lane of U.S. 41 when Hobmeier turned left and struck Mikkola’s vehicle near the driver’s side door.

Mikkola’s vehicle came to rest off the roadway in the ditch and she was unable to exit the vehicle.

She reported injuries at the scene, a press release from the Michigan State Police Calumet Post states.
