ORION TOWNSHIP, MI \u2014 Two people were killed and two others were injured in a head-on crash in Oakland County over the weekend, according to the sheriff’s office.<\/p>\n
The crash happened at 1:11 p.m. Saturday near Lapeer and Greenshield roads in Orion Township, officials said.<\/p>\n
Officials said a 63-year-old Hazel Park man was driving a 2015 Ford Fiesta north on Lapeer Road when he lost control.<\/p>\n
The car drove off the road and through a median before entering the southbound lanes where it struck a 2011 Lincoln MKX head-on, officials said.<\/p>\n
The Lincoln driver, Alfred Henry Young, 86, of Rochester Hills, was taken to a nearby hospital where he died from his injuries, officials said.<\/p>\n
His wife, Florence Anna Young, who was a passenger inside the SUV, was also taken to a nearby hospital where she died hours later, officials said.<\/p>\n
The Fiesta driver and his wife, a 60-year-old resident of Hazel Park, suffered critical injuries in the crash and were taken to a nearby hospital, officials said.<\/p>\n
Investigators do not believe alcohol, drugs or speed were factors in the crash and are unsure why the Fiesta driver left the roadway.<\/p>\n
