Three Okemos teenagers and two Ohio residents were among the five people killed in a head-on crash on US-23 north of Ann Arbor Sunday afternoon that also seriously injured four others, including three children, according to Green Oak Township police.

Those killed included the driver of the Prius; a 19-year-old Okemos woman and an 18-year-old Williamston woman who were passengers in that car. A 62-year-old Fremont, Ohio, woman who was driving the Blazer and a 56-year-old male passenger also were killed.

Three children in the SUV — ages 10, 5 and 3 — were seriously injured. An 18-year-old Okemos man also remains hospitalized in critical condition, police said.

Police told the Lansing State Journal the two people killed in the Blazer were not wearing seatbelts.
