A Michigan teen was killed and six other people injured in a head-on collision on I-75 near Beaverdam just before midnight on Wednesday.
Lima troopers say 15-year-old Christopher Watson was pronounced dead at the scene. He was one of five passengers in an SUV driven by 44-year-old Richard Watson, also of Michigan, who was heading north on the interstate. He was hit head-on by the pickup being driven the wrong way by 64-year-old John Robinson of Arizona. The four passengers in Watson's car, two adults, and two kids, ages ten and eleven, were taken to the hospital with injuries. As were both drivers.
Troopers believe alcohol may explain why Robinson was driving the wrong way on the interstate. The crash remains under investigation.
