The crash happened near the area of Joy Road just before 5 a.m. 

Michigan State Police say a 39-year-old man was driving the van at high speeds when he lost control. The van then rolled onto its side and slid into a Ford Fusion. 

The 19-year-old woman, from Pontiac, was partially ejected during the crash and died at the scene, police said.
