A semi truck carrying a load of corn crashed Tuesday on M-66 in northern Michigan.

UpNorthLive reports “the driver was heading south on M-66 just past Dolomite Trail when he lost control, landing on the opposite side of the highway near Ingersoll Road in Garfield Township.” This is Kalkaska County.
