LEIGHTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A 21-year-old woman died in a Barry County crash Saturday morning near Middleville.
Michigan State Police says the crash happened just before 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of 140th Avenue and Patterson Road.
Troopers say a 19-year-old man was driving west on 140th Avenue, stopped at the stop sign at Patterson Road and proceeded through.
However, investigators say the driver did not yield for a car going south on Patterson, which had the right-of-way.
The 31-year-old woman driving on Patterson wasn't able to avoid the 19-year-old and they crashed.
The 19-year-old's passenger, a 21-year-old woman from Caledonia, was hurt severely in the crash. She was taken to the hospital where she later died.
The intersection was closed for awhile after the crash as Michigan State Police investigated.
