Traverse City, MI : Two killed in Wexford County crash on Sunday afternoon, January 8, 2017

A two-vehicle crash in Wexford County claimed the lives of two women.

Speed and poor road conditions contributed to the Sunday afternoon crash on M-37, north of Mesick, near the Manistee River, according to a release from the Wexford County sheriff's department.

Rebecca Quade, 41 of Mesick, was driving south on M-37 when her vehicle crossed the center line of the road and was struck by a northbound vehicle driven by an Irons man, 52, the release states.

Quade was pronounced dead at the scene, as was a backseat passenger in the northbound vehicle, Jacquelyn Ursum, 77 of Irons. Neither woman wore a seat belt, the release stated.

Wexford County sheriff's deputies are investigating the incident.

Mesick, Buckley, Blair Township and Springville Township fire and rescue crews responded to the crash, as did Michigan State Police and North Flight.
