A 53-year-old motorist is dead following a fatal rear-end crash on a busy roadway Tuesday night in Bloomfield Township.

Police have identified the victim as Rhonda Williams of Oakland Township.

Police and fire crews at 9 p.m. were called to the area of eastbound Square Lake Road and Emerson Avenue, near Woodward Avenue, to investigate a serious two-car crash.

Arriving officials learned that a 2014 Maserati driving eastbound on Square Lake Road rear-ended a 2009 Subaru Legacy headed the same way.
