The Escanaba Public Safety Department on Tuesday released preliminary findings from its investigation into the traffic crash last Thanksgiving night that killed two people and injured seven others, five seriously.
Police say that the driver deemed to be at-fault for the crash, Tony Hurkmans, smoked marijuana shortly before the accident, and according to a state police toxicology report, had a high level of marijuana in his system. He was driving an estimated 72 miles per hour in a 35-mile-per-hour zone when he apparently had a reaction to the marijuana. The details are in the police report below.
