According to MSP, it happened around 6 p.m. Sunday in Reno Township in Iosco County. Police say the car and horse-drawn buggy were both going north on M-65 when a rear-end collision happened.

Five people were in the buggy and transported to the hospital for medical treatment. Two of those passengers were later airlifted to another hospital with serious injuries.

Police say alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the crash.
