Two Eastern Michigan students were killed Sunday morning in a head-on collision on Hewitt Road near Midvale Street in Ypsilanti Township. Shannise Heady, a member of the school's women's basketball team, and Jordan Hopkins, a fellow EMU student, were both killed in the accident.

Heady was a junior majoring in health care administration. Hopkins, from Dexter, was a senior studying psychology.
