17-year-old girl killed in car crash in Clinton Township

A teen driver sideswiped an SUV before jumping a curb and crashing through two fences.

FOX 2 - A 17-year-old girl was killed after crashing through two fences before coming to rest against a garage Tuesday.

The victim was driving a gray 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt on westbound 19 Mile from Romeo Plank when it sideswiped a black 2014 Ford Explorer next to it. The Cobalt lost control jumping the curb and hitting a wooden fence - then a cyclone fence, ending at a garage at the location.

The crash has led to 19 Mile Road closed in the area of Garfield Tuesday night. Police say drugs and alcohol do not appear to be a factor.

The family has been notified, and police say the victim is a resident of Clinton Township. Grief counselors will be at school tomorrow to assist.

Her identity has not been released yet.
