A 19-year-old Clare woman was killed Wednesday in a two-vehicle crash in Mount Pleasant.
Michigan State Police responded to the crash at 11:15 a.m. on Sept. 18 at the three-way intersection of S. Isabella Road and E. Blue Grass Road, said Lt. Todd Parsons, the on-scene supervisor.
The woman was identified by police as Megan Richardson.
Richardson was driving east on Blue Grass Road in a 2007 Hyundai Elantra passenger car when she drove into the path of a 2003 Ford F-150 pickup truck southbound on Isabella Road, police said.
Parsons said she was the sole occupant of the Hyundai Elantra, and she was transported to McLaren Central Michigan where she was pronounced dead.
The driver of the pickup truck, a 19-year-old Mount Pleasant man, and two adult passengers sustained minor injuries in the crash.
The crash remains under investigation by MSP. Parsons said alcohol and drugs do not appear to be a factor in the crash.
The intersection was partially closed to traffic for several hours as police investigated.
MSP was assisted at the scene by MMR Ambulance, Mount Pleasant Fire Department, Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police Department and the Isabella County Sheriff's Office.
