CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) -- A 17-year-old girl from Clinton Township was killed in a vehicle crash Monday evening.

The crash happened at about 7:26 p.m. on eastbound 19 Mile Road near Romeo Plank Road.

The teen, whose name was not released, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported.

Drugs and alcohol are not suspected of being a factor, police say.

The crash is under investigation.
