Teen Driver Hits Another Vehicle; 2 Siblings Die
BERLIN TWP. (WWJ) - Two children are dead, after their 18-year-old sister lost control of her car and struck an oncoming vehicle.
Monroe County Sheriff's Deputies say the car driven by Iris Wagenaar of South Rockwood was moving at a high rate of speed in Berlin Township around 3 p.m. Wednesday when it crossed the centerline and struck an oncoming SUV.
Two of the three children were ejected from the Wagenaar vehicle. Police say 17-year-old Peter Wagenaar and his 11-year-old sister, Morgan, died at the scene from their injuries. Iris Wagenaar and her 14-year old sister, Harley, were critically injured and are at Southshore Hospital in Trenton. They were last listed in critical but stable condition.
The driver of the other vehicle, a 43-year-old woman from South Rockwood, was also hurt.
