IRON MOUNTAIN – Upper Peninsula officers responded to several vehicle accidents Wednesday and Thursday.

Iron Mountain Post troopers responded to a four vehicle traffic crash on M-95 near Sunset Lane in Sagola Township, Dickinson County, according to a release from Michigan State Police.

The accident was reported at 9:08 a.m. Thursday after a semi tractor hauling logs south on M-95 slid on black ice. The logs shifted and fell onto the roadway.

The loose logs set off a chain reaction overturning a second log truck and causing a third to lose logs when both tried to avoid the first truck’s loose load.

A passenger car slid into logs on the roadway.

All drivers were wearing seat belts and no alcohol use is suspected.

The Dickinson County Sheriff Department, Star EMS, Sagola Township Fire Department, DEQ, UP Environmental Services and several logging companies assisted state troopers in clearing the scene.

Troopers were unavailable before press time to confirm whether or not anyone was injured.
