Emergency personnel responded to a one-vehicle rollover Wednesday (July 5) morning at 11:09 a.m. It appeared a vehicle traveling northbound on U.S.-23, about one-half mile south of the Co. Road 451 junction ended up on the passenger side while pulling a loaded trailer. The contents of the trailer, what appeared to be short wood logs, were on the roadway and along the side of the road. Presque Isle County Sheriff’s Department and Rogers City police had the road blocked off as crews worked to right the vehicle and pick up the debris. Traffic was  re-routed down Co. Road 451 for southbound traffic and down business U.S.-23 on the south end of the scene. 2817-rolloever2 2817-rollover
