Canton, MI : Four people critically injured after a Head-on crash on Michigan Avenue in Canton on Friday night, May 6, 2016

A Lincoln Park man driving the wrong way on Michigan Avenue in Canton slammed head-on into another car Friday night, leaving four people critically injured, police said.

“They were pretty serious injuries,” police Lt. Craig Wilsher said.

Police say alcohol appears to have been a factor in the two-vehicle crash that occurred about 10:51 p.m. Friday in the eastbound lanes of Michigan Avenue, between Lilley and Sheldon.

A 30-year-old Lincoln Park man was driving a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado westbound in the eastbound lanes when he crashed into a 2006 Toyota Camry driven by a 23-year-old Westchester, Ohio, man, police said.

Both drivers and a passenger from each vehicle were taken to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ypsilanti with what was described as critical injuries.

The passenger in the Camry was a 24-year-old man, Wilsher said. The passenger in the Silverado was a 31-year-old man.

Police haven't released the identities of the drivers or passengers.

The crash closed the eastbound lanes of Michigan Avenue for hours, Wilsher said. Canton police issued an advisory at 6 a.m. the following morning that the road had reopened.

Wilsher said it wasn’t yet known if speed was a factor in the crash.

The Canton Police Department’s Accident Investigation Team was called to the scene. Wilsher said there is no word yet on possible charges.

“The investigation is continuing,” Wilsher said Monday morning.
