1/2/13 - Two drivers in a head-on crash that police say likely involved alcohol are recovering. Green Oak Township Police say a 25-year-old Brighton woman was southbound â in the northbound lanes - on US-23 south of Lee Road at about 3 oâclock New Yearâs morning when the Jeep Wrangler she was driving hit a Ford Focus head-on. The woman, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the vehicle while the driver of the Focus was trapped in his vehicle. The 25-year-old Highland man was removed by Green Oak Township firefighters and airlifted to the University of Michigan Hospital with serious injuries. The other driver was taken by Livingston County EMS to the Ann Arbor hospital for treatment of her injuries. Both drivers are listed in good condition today. Police believe drinking on the part of the wrong-way driver was a contributing factor in the accident. However, the investigation will remain open pending completion of toxicology reports, which is expected to take several weeks. (JK)
