3-vehicle crash on US-23 north of Ann Arbor kills 19-year-old woman

A 19-year-old driver was killed Tuesday evening after police say her car sideswiped a semi tractor-trailer on southbound US-23, overturned in the grassy median, went airborne into the northbound lanes and landed on another vehicle.

The crash occurred on US-23 near Silver Lake Road in Green Oak Township, north of Ann Arbor, at about 7:30 p.m.

According to Green Oak Township Police, a 19-year-old woman was driving a 1999 silver Pontiac Grand Prix when she lost control of the vehicle. The car struck a semi, crossed over the grass median and overturned into northbound US-23, police said.

The Grand Prix was airborne when it landed on the roof of a northbound 1995 gray Chrysler Concord driven by a 19-year-old Ann Arbor man, police said.

The 19-year-old woman from Erie, Mich., was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name has not been released.

Green Oak Township police said the Ann Arbor man was trapped in his vehicle, and was freed by firefighters. He was taken to the University of Michigan Medical Center with serious injuries, police said.

The driver of the semi, a 50-year-old man from Spring Hill, Fla., was not injured.

US-23 was closed for several hours while officers from Green Oak Township, the Livingston County Sheriff's Department and Michigan State Police investigated.

It's unclear what caused the woman to lose control of her car.

Update: On Wednesday night, police identified the woman killed in the crash as Felisa Estella-Rosa Barnes of Erie in Monroe County.
