The Lenawee County Sheriff's Office said two teens were hit by a car and one was killed on Brooklyn Highway near Michigan International Speedway early Monday morning.
According to the sheriff's office, the 19-year-old female and male were walking on or near Brooklyn Highway north of US-12 when they were hit by a vehicle traveling northbound on Brooklyn Highway around 4:19 a.m. That car was driven by a 17-year-old from Adrian, Mich.
The woman, 19-year-old Makayla Rae Hostetler, from Mason, Mich., was pronounced dead at the scene. The 19-year-old man was taken to the hospital by medical helicopter and is in critical condition.
Faster Horses Festival, a 3-day country music festival, let out just a few hours before the crash happened.
In a statement, MIS said, "We are saddened to hear of the accident that occurred on Brooklyn Highway this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with those involved and their family members."
The sheriff's office is still investigating. They say alcohol appears to be a factor in the crash.
