A 2015 Ford Fiesta, driven by a 63-year-old Hazel Park man, was traveling northbound on Lapeer Road when it left the roadway, crossed the median into the southbound lanes and struck a 2011 Lincoln MKX head-on, investigators said.
The Lincoln’s driver, Alfred Henry Young, 86, of Rochester Hills, died at the hospital. His wife, also 86, was critically injured. The Fiesta driver and his wife, a 60-year-old Hazel Park resident, were also hospitalized in critical condition.
Alcohol, drugs and speed do not appear to be factors, the sheriff’s office said.
