Two drivers were seriouslyinjured yesterday morning when their vehicles collided head-on on North Avenue between 31 Mile and 32 Mile roads in Ray Township, said Trooper William Rowell of Michigan State Police's Richmond Post.

Jean McKay, 67, of Harrison Township and Lucia Neda, 28, of Armada were being treated at Mt. Clemens Regional Medical Center after the automobile accident about 7:30 a.m., Rowell said.

He said McKay's grandchildren, a 2-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy, both of Lapeer, did not appear hurt in the car accident but were taken to the hospital for observation. The children were buckled up in car or booster seats in the backseat of McKay's sport-utility vehicle.

It was reported that both drivers, who were wearing seat belts, had to be extricated from their vehicles by firefighters.

Rowell said that the preliminary investigation and a witness account indicate that McKay's northbound SUV crossed the center line and hit Neda's southbound car head-on despite Neda's attempt to get off the shoulder of the road. The investigation into why the SUV crossed the center line is continuing.

A Toyota Prius crossed the median of U.S. 23 in Green Oak Township Sunday afternoon and crashed into a Chevrolet Blazer travelling north on U.S. 23.  The driver of the Prius and two of its passengers were killed.  The fourth passenger was air-lifted to the hospital and as of last night, was in critical condition.  The driver of the Blazer as well as the front seat passenger was also killed in the crash.  The three children riding in the back of the Blazer, ages 10, 5 and 3, were all seriously injured and taken by ambulance to University Hospital in Ann Arbor for emergency care. 

It is unclear why the Prius crossed the median into oncoming traffic.  Police are continuing to investigate this horrible tragedy.

A 2-year-old girl suffered a broken femur when she fell from a 9^th story window at the North Park Place apartment complex in Southfield.  Investigators believe that the girl may have been reaching for a sippy cup on the window sill and went through the screen.  At this time, investigators do not believe a faulty screen played a role in the fall however, neighbors are questioning the strength of the screen and other falls have occurred at the apartment complex.  It is being reported that a 16-month-old died in 2006 after falling from a 14^th floor window.  Apparently, Southfield city officials intend to form a task force to work with apartment management to prevent similar falls from occurring in the future.
