A 34-year-old Groveland Township woman died in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday night, according to Oakland County Sheriff’s officials.
Renee Marie Vilders was driving a 2023 Chevrolet Equinox east on Holly Road at 9:30 p.m. but failed to stop at a stop sign at the Dixie Highway intersection. Her vehicle hit a 2023 GMC Sierra pickup driven by a 64-year-old Groveland Township man headed north on Dixie Highway.
The force of the crash sent both vehicles off the road and into a stand of trees. The Equinox landed on its side against the trees and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
The pickup’s driver and a 61-year-old passenger were taken to an area hospital by paramedics with Springfield Township and Groveland Township fire departments. Their conditions are unknown.
All parties in both vehicles were wearing seatbelts. An autopsy for Vilders is pending.
The sheriff’s crash reconstruction unit is investigating.
