19-year-old Justin Noel, the passenger in the Mustang, lost his life in the crash. Noel was airlifted to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo where he later died.
The driver of the Mustang was transported to the hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the Highlander was treated at the scene for minor injuries, and his passenger, a 32-year-old man from Sturgis, was not injured.
