Deputies responded to a two-vehicle crash around 3 a.m. on US-127 south of Harris Road, which is a rural stretch of road just east of Oxford.

The sheriff's office found that a driver in a 2014 Toyota Camry was driving south on US-127, when it veered into oncoming traffic and struck a 2014 Chrysler 300 head-on.

The driver of the Chrysler was killed in the crash, the sheriff's office said. The driver has not been identified.

Both the driver and passenger of the Toyota had to be extracted from the vehicle. They were both airlifted to UC Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

The sheriff's office said it is investigating speed and alcohol as factors in the crash.
