Houghton Crash Sends Motorcyclist to Hospital

A downstate woman was injured in a car-motorcycle crash this afternoon in Houghton.

The Houghton police department tells us that a 59-year-old Wheeler woman was driving her motorcycle southbound at the intersection of US-41 and M-26 just before 1:30. She crossed from the far-left lane into the center lane, and struck a vehicle driven by a 71-year-old Houghton man.

The motorcycle driver was taken by ambulance to UP Health System-Portage. Her condition is not known.

The identities of the drivers have not been released.

Officers say neither speed nor alcohol appear to have been factors.
