Sterling Heights woman killed in head-on crash after 2nd driver crosses center line on Schoenherr
STERLING HEIGHTS (FOX 2) - A 64-year-old woman is dead after being struck head-on by another vehicle that crossed the center lane from the opposite direction.
The victim - who is from Sterling Heights - was driving a blue Saturn on the northbound side of Schoenherr north of 15 Mile Road when a driver in a black Durango from the southbound side crossed over, hitting her vehicle head-on, according to police.
Police say there’s no indication drugs or alcohol were factors in the crash, which took place at 3 p.m.
She was transported to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Police say that the crash triggered another collision with two other vehicles.
The other drivers suffered minor injuries, while investigators are not pointing to a clear cause just yet, but neighbors say this crash is the latest in a long line of dangerous road incidents in the area.
