On Sunday night, a 16-year-old boy suffered critical injuries following a head-on collision in Orion Township.
As per the initial information, the two-vehicle crash took place on Clarkston Road near Beach Drive in Orion Township at about 9:20 p.m. The preliminary investigation showed that the 16-year-old was driving a 2004 Ford Ranger pickup truck when it crashed head-on into a 2013 Ford F-350 truck that was going east on Clarkston Road.
The teen driver suffered critical injuries while his passenger, a 17-year-old from Orion Township, was provided medical aid for his injuries and was released from the hospital. Officers reported that the two vehicles smashed into each other in a no-passing zone. The driver of the Ford F-350, a 21-year-old Oxford Township man, remained unharmed.
Alcohol on the part of the driver of the Ranger is suspected. A blood sample was taken from him and the results of the analysis are pending. Alcohol and drugs did not seem to be involved on part of the F350 driver. No other details are available.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing.
