OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. \u2013 A second victim has died following a head-on crash over the weekend in Oakland County.<\/p>\n

Florence Anna Young, 86, of Rochester Hills, died Monday (April 13) from injuries sustained in the crash that killed her husband, Alfred Henry Young, 86, a day earlier.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred around 1:11 p.m. Saturday, April 11, near the intersection of Lapeer Road and Greenshield Road in Orion Township<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to investigators with the Oakland County Sheriff\u2019s Office, a 2015 Ford Fiesta driven by a 63-year-old man from Hazel Park was traveling northbound on Lapeer Road when, for unknown reasons, the vehicle left the roadway, crossed the median, and entered the southbound lanes, striking a 2011 Lincoln MKX head-on.<\/p>\n

The Fiesta driver and his 60-year-old wife, also of Hazel Park, were hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Emergency responders from the Auburn Hills Fire Department, Oakland Township Fire Department, and Orion Township Fire Department assisted at the scene.<\/p>\n

Investigators said alcohol, drugs, and speed do not appear to be factors in the crash.<\/p>\n

The Oakland County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office took custody of the deceased, and autopsies were scheduled. <\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office crash reconstruction unit is continuing to investigate the incident.<\/p>\n
