BRIGHTON, Mich. (AP) - The Latest on a two-vehicle crash that killed five people in Michigan (all times local):
1 p.m.
State officials say one of the drivers in a two-vehicle crash that killed five people in Michigan was behind the wheel on an expired license, meaning neither of the drivers involved had a valid license.
Michigan Secretary of State spokesman Fred Woodhams tells the Livingston Daily Press & Argus (https://bit.ly/2r6eEsq ) Thursday that 39-year-old Albert Boswell “wasn’t able to drive legally.”
The SUV driven by Boswell was struck Tuesday night at an intersection in Livingston County’s Oceola Township by a car driven by 22-year-old Matthew Carrier. Woodhams says Carrier’s license was suspended due to unpaid tickets and an “unsatisfactory” driving record.
Police say Carrier failed to stop at a stop sign.
Boswell, Carrier and a passenger in Carrier’s car are in critical condition. Two other people in the car were killed. Three passengers in Boswell’s vehicle were killed.
