A mother was killed in a car accident after officials believe she fell asleep behind the wheel while driving with her daughter.
The accident occurred Tuesday afternoon on US-12 east of Mull Highway in Franklin Township, Michigan.
The 33-year-old woman, whose name was not made public, was from Delta, Ohio.
Investigators from the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Office believe she fell asleep at the wheel and over the center line. Her car collided head-on with an incoming vehicle.
Officials stated that they had to use the jaws of life to extricate the woman out of her car. She was declared dead in the hospital.
Her 12-year-old daughter, who was also in the vehicle, was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
The second driver, a 32-year-old woman, had a leg injury but is expected to recover.
Investigators are still attempting to determine whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the collision.
