OKEMOS, MI –
Police have identified three Okemos High School graduates and two Ohio residents killed in a weekend car accident northwest of Detroit.

Green Oak Township Police Chief Robert Brookins said Monday that Matthew Kolstoe and Heather Comstock, both of Okemos, and Sarina Seger of Williamston died Sunday in the crash on U.S. 23 in Livingston County.

Comstock was 19. Kolstoe and Seger were 18. Another 18-year-old in the car is in critical condition.
