HARTFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Two carloads of people from Hartford collided Wednesday night, leaving all 9 in the hospital— 2 in critical condition.

Van Buren County Deputies tell FOX 17 it happened just before 6:30 p.m.— a Chevy Tracker carrying 5 teenagers did not stop for the sign while heading south on CR 681 at Red Arrow Highway, hitting a westbound Ford Focus.

The Focus rolled, hurting the 4 men inside— several of which were not in seat belts, according to Deputies.

Bystanders were doing CPR on one young woman when first responders arrived, taking over.

The intersection was closed for 2 1/2 hours while responders worked to stabilize their patients and get them to the hospital.
