Car-vs. Moose Crash in Humboldt
A car-versus-moose accident in Humboldt leaves the moose dead and the car totaled.
It happened at about 8:30 this morning on US–41 near County Road FD.
The Marquette County Sheriff’s Department says 48–year–old William Backus of Akron, Ohio was heading east on the highway.
The moose ran out from the woods onto the road, right in front of Backus’s car.
