Alcohol may be a factor in a crash in which two people, including a 6-year-old girl, were killed in Van Buren County.

The collision happened around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12, in the 60000 block of Red Arrow Highway in Hartford Township, according to the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office as reported by WSJM.
