Chesterfield woman killed after being hit by two cars, ejected from snow mobile

NEWBERRY, Mich. (FOX 2) - A Chesterfield Township woman was killed after being struck by multiple vehicles while snowmobiling in northern Michigan this week.

The 55-year-old victim had attempted to cross a rural highway when she was struck by a vehicle traveling northbound. She was hit again after being ejected before being transported to the hospital.

The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. in Luce County, which is in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

According to the county sheriff, the woman was driving across M-123 from Charcoal Grade in order to head to the town of Newberry.

As the snowmobile was pulling onto the lane, a northbound vehicle driven by a 56-year-old Newberry woman crashed into the victim. Police said she was unable to stop before striking the snowmobile. 

After the victim was struck, she was ejected off the machine into a southbound lane. She was then struck by a second vehicle driven by a 57-year-old Newberry man who did not see the woman in the road.
