*** UPDATE: A multi-vehicle crash reported in Sunday’s Dispatch on Highway 64 in Motley inadvertently stated a Ford Fusion was rear-ended by a southbound Chevrolet Silverado pickup in a crash on Highway 64 at 96th Street Southwest in Becker Township in Cass County. It should have stated the Ford rear-ended the Chevy.
The Dispatch regrets the error.
