A 22-year-old Westland woman is in critical condition after being involved in a serious weather-related traffic accident Tuesday in Commerce Township.
The accident occurred around 2:04 p.m. on Welch Road near Stony Lane. The 22-year-old driver lost control while driving southbound on Welch Road.
The Westland woman's vehicle, a 2003 Ford Ranger, slid sideways into oncoming traffic and into the path of a Chevrolet Silverado driven by a 45-year-old White Lake man, said Oakland County Sheriff's crash investigators.
The 22-year-old, who had been badly injured, was taken to Huron Valley Hospital. Community EMS personnel and Commerce Township firefighters were able to revive her on the way, officials said. She was listed in critical condition Tuesday night.
The driver of the Silverado was also taken to Huron Valley. He was listed in stable condition.
Alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the accident, which remains under investigation. Authorities reported both drivers were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
