A 46-year-old woman died Tuesday in a crash in Pontiac that involved three vehicles, the Oakland County Sheriff s Office said.
One of the vehicle s drivers has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, it said.
The crash happened at about 7 p.m. on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Michigan Avenue, officials said.
According to a preliminary investigation, the Pontiac woman was driving a 2011 Buick Regal and was making a left turn from eastbound Michigan onto northbound Martin Luther King Jr. when she was struck by a 2007 BMW 750. A 48-year-old Mount Clemens man was driving the BMW.
After striking the Buick, the BMW hit a 2009 Dodge Journey waiting to turn left onto westbound Michigan Avenue.
